Ruptured Peroneal Ganglion Cyst: MRI with Surgical Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of a proximal anterior leg mass causing weak great toe dorsiflexion. The lesion was demonstrated on MR imaging as a multilocular cystic lesion within the extensor digitorum longus muscle that was connected to the proximal tibio-fibular joint by a pedicle. Fluid extravasation was present that extended inferiorly from the lesion along the fascial planes into the distal anterior lower leg. At surgery, the lesion was found to be compressing the deep peroneal nerve. The final pathologic diagnosis was peroneal ganglion cyst.

Deep Peroneal Nerve Palsy Caused by an Extraneural Ganglion Cyst: A Rare Case
Lower extremities peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are rare. The most frequent location of occurrence is the common peroneal nerve and its branches, at the level of the fibular neck. We report the case of a 57-year-old patient admitted with foot drop, due to an extraneural ganglion of the upper tibiofibular syndesmosis, compressing the deep branch of the peroneal nerve. Although...

Peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are quite rare, especially in the lower extremities. The case of a 64-year-old male with a 2-day history of foot drop and tenderness in the region of the left fibular neck is presented. Physical examination and electromyogram findings verified peroneal nerve palsy. Ultrasonography showed cystic mass localized proximal of the peroneal muscle struc...
متن کاملCommon Peroneal Nerve Palsy Secondary to a Proximal Tibiofibular Joint “Ganglion Cyst”—A Case Report and Review of Literature
Although ganglion cysts occur frequently, their presence in the lower extremities is rare and they seldom cause peripheral nerve compression. There are enumerable case reports of intraneural ganglion involvement with the common peroneal nerve and its branches, the sural nerve, and the posterior tibial nerve but extraneural ganglion sciatic and common peroneal nerve palsy cases are quite rare. O...

Peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst which manifests itself with the complaint about palpable swelling and pain around the knee laterally adjacent to fibula neck, that peroneal nerve passes through, is a pathology that can lead to neurological symptoms. For the diagnosis of peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst, which is a rare reason for drop foot, physical examination, electromyography and radiogr...

Peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are rare, particularly in the lower extremities. The case of a 45-year-old man with a two-month history of foot drop and swelling in the region of the right fibular head is presented. Physical examination and electromyogram studies verified a peroneal nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lobulated, multilocular, cystic-appearing mas...
