We report a 72-year-old woman with a type-1 intra-osseous ganglion in the proximal humerus, extending to the bone surface. We conducted a systemic review of intra-osseous ganglion cases in Japan to identify clinical features and pathogenesis of this condition. The anatomical distribution between intra-osseous ganglia without a communicating soft tissue ganglion (type 1) and those with (type 2) ...

Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions located in the subchondral bone. Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle are relatively uncommon. We present a case of recurrent intraosseous ganglion in the ankle of a 41-year-old female who had recurrence after initial surgery. She was treated effectively by curettage and autogenous cancellous bone grafting. At the final follow-up, satisfactory ...

Soft tissue ganglion cysts are the most common benign tumours of the wrist; their pathogenesis remains controversial. We prospectively screened the radiographic appearance of the wrists of 51 patients presenting to a single surgeon with dorsal wrist ganglions during a one-year period. Postero-anterior and lateral radiographs were systematically performed looking for possible associated intraoss...

Ganglion, a benign cyst, most common soft tissue tumor of the hand, usually occurs in the hand, wrist, and foot. It is difficult to treat as reoccurrence is common after surgery and also following other treatment procedures. In this study, sclerotherapy technique in 20 patients treated using a solution of tetracycline after aspiration is described. Most of the patients in this study were betwee...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous ganglion is a cystic lesion that contains gelatinous material, most often occurs in middle-aged patients, and is regarded as similar to soft-tissue ganglion. The etiology is unknown, but association with degenerative joint disease has been considered. MATERIALS AND METHODS At a single institute, 17 patients (8 men, 9 women) with a mean age of 48.9 years (22-72 years) w...

Introduction: Coccydynia refers to pain in the terminal segment of spine caused by abnormal sitting and standing posture. is usually managed conservatively; however, nonresponsive patients, ganglion impar block used as a good alternate modality for relief. Aim Objective: The aim this article study effect coccydynia patients who were not relieved conservative management.Materials Methods: This p...

Variations in muscle attachments are valuable in interpreting rare clinical conditions. This case report discusses about the abnormal extensor indicis muscle attachment in left hand of male cadaver and its clinical relevance. The extensor indicis muscle was arising from lunate carpal bone and posterior radiocarpal ligament which further continued as short belly and had its distal attachment on ...

introduction: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is the most common autoimmune joint disease. osteoporosis is a well-known consequence of ra. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the interrelationship between radiographic findings and bone mineral density (bmd) in patients with ra. methods: 70 patients with established ra (according to 1987 acr criteria) were included in a cross-sect...

We investigated whether vasodilator and secretomotor ganglion neurons are morphologically distinguishable from each other in the parasympathetic ganglion of the cat. When Cholera toxin B subunit, a retrograde tracer, was injected into the palatine gland, both large and small ganglion neurons were retrogradely labeled in the pterygopalatine ganglion. On the other hand, when the tracer was inject...

Volar ganglion cyst of the wrist is a common hand problem faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Excision is indicated if it is painful. Arthroscopic ganglionectomy of the wrist ganglion has been reported with the advantage of minimally invasive surgery. Most of them involve elimination of the valvular mechanism and internal drainage of the ganglion fluid to the wrist joint. The access of the ganglion ...
