11/16. Communicating intraosseous ganglion of the lunate.The authors describe a symptomatic intraosseous ganglion of the lunate communicating directly with the scapholunate joint. The communication was demonstrated by arthrography and computed tomography. This case is believed to be the first reported in which the communication was shown by arthrography. Demonstration of such a communication can obviate the need for further imaging to diagnose the lesion. A review of intraosseous ganglia of the hand and their treatment is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/16. magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve syndrome.The authors report the findings in a case of early suprascapular nerve syndrome caused by a ganglion in the spinoglenoid notch. The diagnosis was established by magnetic resonance imaging. The exquisite soft-tissue detail provided by this modality allows differentiation among many causes of shoulder pain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/16. Intraligamentous ganglion cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament: MR findings with clinical and arthroscopic correlations.OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance findings with clinical and arthroscopic correlation of intraligamentous cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are presented. MATERIALS AND methods: Three cases of intraligamentous cysts of the ACL were identified out of 681 knee MRI examinations over a 2-year period. arthroscopy and postoperative MRI were performed in all three patients, each of whom experienced knee pain with extreme flexion and extension. RESULTS: In all three cases the intraligamentous cyst was homogeneously hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging relative to the ACL. Two of the three ACL cysts required a 70 degrees scope for adequate visualization and establishment of posteromedial and posterolateral portals for arthroscopic treatment. One cyst could not be visualized arthroscopically and probing of the ACL from the anterior portal resulted in drainage of the cyst. No patient had presence of ACL cyst on follow-up MRI or recurrence of symptoms at a mean of 24 months. CONCLUSION: Intraligamentous cyst of ACL is a rare cause of knee pain. It should be suspected in patients having chronic pain with extremes of motion. Magnetic resonance findings are diagnostic and help to guide arthroscopy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/16. Suprascapular nerve entrapment by ganglion cysts: a report of six cases with arthroscopic findings and review of the literature.Suprascapular nerve entrapment by a ganglion cyst can produce pain and shoulder dysfunction. We report six cases with the associated arthroscopic intraarticular findings of a posterior capsulolabral injury (only the second such description) and review the literature. Based on the current literature and our experience, we document our treatment algorithm for suprascapular nerve entrapment secondary to a ganglion cyst. We believe it is necessary to evaluate and treat the intraarticular pathology as well as the ganglion cyst/nerve entrapment to successfully manage these patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/16. Fluid-fluid level in an intraosseous ganglion.A case of an intraosseous ganglion with a fluid-fluid level visualised on MR imaging is presented. We discuss its possible pathogenesis and review other lesions that may exhibit this sign.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/16. ganglia of the superior tibiofibular joint: report of three cases and review of the literature.ganglion cysts that compress the common peroneal nerve frequently arise from the proximal tibiofibular joint. We report three cases of such ganglia. In one case the ganglion cyst arises from the proximal tibiofibular joint, finds its course along the common peroneal nerve causing pain, but no neurological deficit. In the two other cases the cysts have the same origin but they are the cause of a progressive peroneal nerve palsy. Treatment in these three cases was successful resection of the cyst with non mutilating surgery for the nerve and ligation of the stalk connecting the ganglion to the proximal tibiofibular articulation. A review of the controversial pathogenesis of the intra- and extraneural ganglia is exposed, and the anatomy, the diagnosis, the surgical treatment and the prognosis is discussed in light of relevant literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = ganglion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
