Peroneal and Tibial Intraneural Ganglion Cysts in the Knee Region: Video 1

Video Description

The formation and propagation of a peroneal intraneural ganglion (the most common type of intraneural cyst) is illustrated. This video highlights the articular branch connection and the phasic nature of ascent (up the articular branch to the common peroneal nerve); cross-over within the shared epineurial sheath of the sciatic nerve; and descent (down the tibial nerve).
