“…There are a limited number of articles dealing specifically with ganglion cysts of the hallux 9 10 12 13 14) and even fewer addressing the management of recurrent ganglia. 5 15 16 17) Some authors have proposed that recurrence may occur because the cystic structure has been incorporated into the surrounding tissue in a complex manner and resecting it en bloc may be difficult.…”

BackgroundTo describe the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings of ganglion cysts with effusion in the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath around the hallux to evaluate their origin.MethodsPatients with recurrent or painful ganglion cysts around the hallux with effusion in the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath who underwent surgical treatment at St. Vincent's Hospital from February 2007 to August 2016 were investigated. Surgical indication was a painful or recurrent mass caused by the cystic lesions. Those without effusion of the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath were excluded. We assessed the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings.ResultsMagnetic resonance imaging findings in all patients showed several ganglion cysts around the hallux and large fluid accumulations within the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath. Regarding the location, six ganglion cysts were on the dorsomedial aspect, one on the plantar medial aspect, seven on the plantar lateral aspect, and one in the toe pulp. Ten patients showed joint effusions in both the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints, two in the metatarsophalangeal joints, and three in the interphalangeal joints. There were communication stalks with a tail shape or abutment between ganglion cysts with surrounding joint effusions. Intraoperatively, connections between ganglion cysts, the synovial cyst of the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath, and surrounding joints were seen.ConclusionsSynovial fluid accumulation in the metatarsophalangeal or interphalangeal joint supplies the synovial cyst of the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath and subsequently ganglion cysts in the hallux. In clinical practice, the surgeon should carefully check surrounding joints with tendon sheaths to prevent recurrence of the ganglion cysts around the hallux.

“…Discussion -Soft tissue lesions of the foot are not uncommon and about 2/3rd of these lesions are benign 3 .Ganglions are cystic lesion, and in the foot, they are more commonly seen on the dorsal aspect 4 but the plantar ganglia of the foot with unusual branching pattern as seen in our case are exceedingly rare. Around 80 % of the ganglion cyst arises from a tendon sheath or adjacent joint capsule 5 .…”

“…It is important to identify the site of origin of the tarsal tunnel ganglion and the relation between the nerve and the ganglion in order to choose the appropriate arthroscopic approach. MRI can detect any deep extension of the foot dorsum ganglion through the intermetatarsal space [29, 31]. The deep extension should be addressed during arthroscopic ganglionectomy, and tarsometatarsal joint is the best site of drainage for this kind of ganglion.…”
