Peroneal Intraneural Ganglion Cyst Arising from Proximal Tibiofibular Joint: Advantages of Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Preoperative Diagnosis

Peroneal intranöral ganglion kisti, genelde erişkin yaşta erkeklerde ortaya çıkar ve nörolojik bulgulara yol açabilir. Hastaların çoğunda peroneal sinirin geçtiği fibula boynu laterali komşuluğunda ele gelen şişlik ve ağrı şikayeti ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Tanıda elektromiyografi ve radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Biz burada dizinin dış yan tarafında ağrılı şişlik ve düşük ayak klinik tablosu ile başvuran 14 yaşında kız hastada alt ekstremite paralizisinin nadir nedenlerinden biri olan peroneal sinir yerleşimli intranöral ganglion kisti olgusunu sunduk. Sinir fonksiyonlarının geri kazanılabilmesi için mümkün olan en kısa zamanda cerrahi müdahale yapılmalıdır. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemesi (MRG) bu lezyonun hızlı ve doğru tanısına katkı sağlamakta ve tedavi yaklaşımlarına ışık tutmaktadır.

Proksimal Tibyofibular Eklemden Kaynaklanan Peroneal Sinir Yerleşimli İntranöral Ganglion Kisti: Preoperatif Tanıda Manyetik Rezonans Görüntülemesinin Katkıları

Peroneal intraneural ganglion cystsusually occur in adult male population and may cause neurological symptoms. Most patients complain of pain and palpable mass located near the lateral part of the fibular neck where peroneal nerve passes through.Most of the patients share complaints of pain and palpable masses located near the lateral part of the fibular neck where peroneal nerve passes through. We would like to present the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented in our clinic with pain and mass at the lateral side of her knee and drop foot due to a peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst, a rare cause of lower extremity paralysis. In order to regain best possible recovery, quick diagnosis and immediate treatment are essential in such cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides reliable and proper information and while also shedding light on therapeutic approaches.
