Abstract:
Intraneural ganglion is a relatively rare clinical entity that is commonly found in the peripheral nerves in the upper and lower extremities. It is commonly manifested by motor deficits, pain and sensory changes due to nerve entrapment and compression of the involved nerve. An intraneural ganglion of the tibial nerve is very rare. We present here a rare case of intraneural ganglion of the tibial nerve in the popliteal fossa and the patient had a neurologic deficit, and this was all treated successfully. We review the clinical course of the patient and the relevant issues are discussed together with a thorough review of the relevant literature.
