Abstract

There are few reports on intraneural ganglion, and this malformations mainly occurs in peripheral nerves of the upper and lower extremities. In the lower extremity, it often occurs in the common peroneal nerve, with neurologic symptoms such as motor weakness and sensory changes. We experienced a case of intraneural ganglion of the common peroneal nerve around the fibular head and this was associated with neurologic symptoms, including weakness of the motor power in the ankle and great toe dorsiflexion and sensory change in the foot dorsum. It was successfully treated by complete excision. We report here on this unusual case and we review the relevant literature.
