Ultrasound-guided aspiration of symptomatic ganglion cysts about peripheral joints is a valuable and routinely performed therapeutic modality. Intratendinous and peritendinous ganglia involving the popliteus tendon are rare, with only 3 cases previously reported. These ganglion cysts are usually small and can easily be mistaken for normal anatomy on magnetic resonance imaging (ie, small periart...

Ganglion cysts usually arise from the tissues around the facet joints. It is usually associated with degenerative cahanges in facet joints. Bilateral thoracic ganglion cysts are very rare and there is no previous case that located in bilateral intervertebral foramen compressing the L1 nerve root associated with severe radiculopathy. We report a 53 years old woman who presented with bilateral gr...

We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a presumed ganglion cyst associated with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), demonstrated by MRI. The ACL is an uncommon location for ganglion cysts to occur.

Soft tissue ganglion cysts are most commonly seen around the wrist and arise from myxomatous degeneration of periarticular connective tissue. A lesion produced by mucoid cyst formation in periosteum long bones is called a “periosteal ganglion”. These found lower extremities. In this article, we present case 50-year-old female who presented with swelling dull aching pain over upper 1/3rd left le...

Ganglion Cysts are tense smooth fluctuant cystic and transilluminant swellings commonly found on dorsum of wrist at scapholunate articulation and may involve volar aspect of wrist, tendon sheaths and interphalangeal joints . Our study aims to compare efficacy and recurrence rates with triamcinolone and hyaluronidase using the single puncture technique . This prospective observational study was ...

SUMMARY Descriptions of ganglion cysts date back to 400 BC. Ganglions causing peripheral nerve compression have been described most notably at the wrist. Ganglion compression of the median nerve at the elbow is rare. We report a case of a palmar elbow ganglion causing median nerve compression and the clinical presentation of pronator syndrome. After removal of the ganglion and median nerve deco...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report clinical results of open excision of extra-articular ganglion cysts around the knee joint combined with arthroscopic management of intra-articular pathologies if present. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the total 107 cases of cystic lesions around the knee, 23 cases of extra-articular ganglion cysts were reviewed between January 2006 and July 2011. The...
