Additional information

Comments

Another beautiful example of how ganglion cysts invade and then propagate along a peripheral nerve. This scholarly gem of a paper solidifies a growing body of work from the Spinner group that support their “Unified Theory” on how intraneural cysts develop and should be treated, by cutting the feeding articular twig branch. It is also beautifully illustrated with preoperative MRI, intraoperative images, and a schematic figure.
