Bilateral ganglion cyst of the common peroneal nerve

Abstract: Ganglion cysts of the common peroneal nerve are rarely described in the literature and a bilateral lesion has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 41-year-old man with a bilateral cyst of the common peroneal nerve diagnosed with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

“…Intraneural ganglia follow the path of the least resistance and extend proximally in the deep peroneal nerve, the common peroneal nerve and sometimes even in the peroneal division of the sciatic nerve. Cases reporting bilateral occurrence [31] in children [32] and in both peroneal and tibial nerves [33] have been described. Surgical intervention must also address the proximal tibiofibular joint to avoid recurrence [34].…”

“…Obwohl die traumatische Komponente diskutiert wird, korrespondiert die histologische Untersuchung nicht mit einer postinflammatorischen oder posthämorrhagischen Reak-tion [23,59]. Das Auftreten von bilateralen intraneuralen Ganglien lässt eine kongenitale Prädisposition vermuten [72]. Die "degenerative Theorie", erstmals erwähnt durch Ledderhose 1893 [51], beschreibt die Entwicklung von Ganglien durch primitive pseudozystische Degeneration des Epi-oder Perineuriums nach Trauma [33], durch repetitiven physikalischen Stress, welcher die myxoide Degeneration des periartikulären Gewebes bewirkt [80], durch aktive Proliferation von periartikulärem Gewebe mit myxoider Metaplasie, wobei sich spindelförmige Zellen in spheroidale, mit Mukoid gefüllte Zellen transformieren [58], oder durch Resorption intraneuraler traumatischer Hämorraghien nach Trauma [38].…”

“…Andere wiederum beschreiben Ganglien als völlig im Epineurium eingeschlossen [53,75]. Dies hat zu der Theorie geführt, dass sie extraartikuläre, embryonale, synoviale Reste sein könnten [53,72]. Die "neoplastische Theorie" besagt, dass Ganglien nach Degeneration von Neurinomen als Konsequenz von intraläsionalen Nekrosen entstehen würden [72].…”
