Abstract:
Ganglion cysts that occurred within sheaths of peripheral nerves have been documented in literatures, but it is relatively rare condition. The peroneal nerve is the most common site of involvement. Other reported sites of involvement are the radial, ulnar, median, sciatic, tibial and posterior interosseous nerves. We report a case of the intraneual ganglion cyst within peroneal nerve and another case of the intraneural ganglion cyst within a medial plantar nerve that were successfully excised without neurologic complication.
