ABSTRACT
Background: Intraneural ganglion cysts (IGC) are non-neoplastic mucinous cysts that form when thick mucinous fluid accumulates in the epineurium of peripheral nerves, with the majority of cases occurring in the para-articular or articular areas.
Case Presentation: The two cases of a 69-year-old man and a 59-year-old man who acquired peroneal nerve neuropathy as a result of an intraneural ganglion cyst are presented here. The L.L.R.M. Medical College Department of Orthopedics provided care for them. There was complete nerve recovery in all patients after substantial cyst wall dissection and secretion removal.
Conclusion: An intraneural ganglion cyst and trauma may exacerbate nerve damage, despite the fact that it is difficult to detect the cyst before surgery. An early diagnosis and prophylactic actions are typically associated with better outcomes.
Key words: Intraneural ganglion, Common peroneal nerve, Foot drop.
