Intraneural ganglion cyst involving the tibial nerve—a case report

Intraneural ganglia are rare non-neoplastic cysts that are caused by an accumulation of thick mucinous fluid. This occurs within the epineurium of peripheral nerves, which is encased in a dense fibrous capsule. The most common presentation of this tumour is local and/or radiating pain. Involvement o...

description Intraneural ganglia are rare non-neoplastic cysts that are caused by an accumulation of thick mucinous fluid. This occurs within the epineurium of peripheral nerves, which is encased in a dense fibrous capsule. The most common presentation of this tumour is local and/or radiating pain. Involvement of the tibial nerve is extremely uncommon, with less than 18 reported cases in the literature. We present a case of an intraneural tibial nerve ganglion cyst in a young male. We also discuss the current literature and proposed pathogenesis and treatment of this rare entity.
