Fig. 8. Ultrasound image of a female patient with small saphenous vein (SSV) reflux. The patient had SSV reflux from the saphenopopliteal junction (SPJ) to the lateral malleolus (red color in the drawing) with long duration as seen in the upper calf (A). The sural nerve (yellow line in the drawing) is not close to the SSV in the mid-calf (B) but is in contact with the SSV at the lower calf (yellow arrow) (C). The perimeter of the nerve has been marked with a yellow dashed line.
