Subperiosteal ganglion is uncommon and usually presents as an asymptomatic cystic mass attached to a bone. It may also cause aching pain (Fisk 1949; Byers and Wadsworth l970)or be an incidental radiographic finding (Grange 1978). Previous reports have emphasised the characteristic radiological appearance of cortical erosion with spicubes of subperiosteal new bone (Heyse-Moore and Grange 1979). ...

Abstract Ligamentum flavum cyst of the lumbar spine has seldom been described. The mechanism formation these cysts remains unknown, but it is thought to be part degenerative process. Although they are clearly visible on imaging studies, frequently wrongly diagnosed as ganglion or synovial cysts. Bone erosion rarely associated with this pathology. Most common symptom back and radicular pain due ...

Ganglions are the most frequently seen soft-tissue tumors in the hand. Nerve compression due to ganglion cysts at the wrist is rare. We report 2 ganglion cysts arising from triangular fibrocartilage complex, one of which caused ulnar nerve compression proximal to the Guyon's canal, leading to ulnar neuropathy. Ganglion cysts seem unimportant, and many surgeons refrain from performing a general ...

The performance of cochlear implant patients may be related to intracochlear, histopathological factors. We have performed detailed post-mortem examinations of five human, implanted cochleas and for each electrode correlated the psychophysical threshold, comfortable level and dynamic range with spiral ganglion cell survival, presence of fibrous tissue and/or new bone, and distance between the c...

A 53 year-old man complained of a mass in the left dorsal hand, though he had no history of injury or inflammation there. The mass became gradually larger and larger (Fig. 1). The mass was elastic, hard and caused no pain nor tenderness. It moved with the extensor tendon and was not attached to the surrounding tissue.
