Ganglion cyst at the proximal tibiofibular joint - A rare cause of compression neuropathy of the peroneal nerve

Ganglion cysts are fluid filled sacs which develop near joints and tendons and are usually asymptomatic. Lower limb ganglion cysts are rare occurrences especially those situated around joint spaces causing nerve compression. We present the case of a 68 year-old female with history of progressive swe...
