Gangliocytoma of the pituitary gland is a rare lesion that often occurs in combination with pituitary adenomas and the exact origin is the subject of discussion. We report a rare case of an intrasellar mass of combined gangliocytoma/ pituitary adenoma coexistent with Rathke's cleft cyst. A 50-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with headache, mild acromegaly, and bitemporal hemianopsia...

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...

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...

UNLABELLED Intraneural ganglion cysts are rare in occurrence and most commonly involve the peroneal nerve at the fibular neck. We present a case of a traumatically induced intraneural ganglion cyst of the sural nerve that developed after a nondisplaced posterior malleolus ankle fracture. The intraneural ganglion cyst was connected to the subtalar joint by its articular branch and ascended sever...

STUDY DESIGN A cadaveric study OBJECTIVE.: The aim of this study was to analyze the in situ macro- and microscopic configuration of the type II cyst and its anatomic relationship with surrounding structures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The lack of consensus of surgical strategy to manage symptomatic type II meningeal cysts (Tarlov cysts) is because our knowledge of type II cyst anatomy remains...
