Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in diagnosing intraneural ganglion cysts . Methods The ultrasonographic images of 12 patients with intraneural ganglion cysts confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed . The ultrasonographic features were summarized . Results The ultrasonographic images showed the location ,number ,size ,shape ,boundary ,internal echo , involvement extent and blood supply in intraneural ganglion cysts clearly . Intraneural ganglion cysts showed cystic masses within peripheral nerve ,boundary clear ,irregular-shaped ,ill-acoustic transmissibility ,and separations are common ,color Doppler examination showed no blood flow inside the cysts . Conclusions High frequency sonography is the preferred imaging method for diagnosis of intraneural ganglion cysts .
