Background/Aims: Intraneural ganglion cyst is a rare and underrecognized clinical entity in the pediatric population, which may cause pain as well as motor and sensory neurological deficits. This study presents 4 pediatric patients harboring ganglion cysts involving the peroneal and tibial nerves. Methods: Data encompassing pre- and postoperative analyses of 4 pediatric patients with intraneural ganglion cyst was evaluated. Results: Out of these 4 patients, 3 had an intraneural ganglion cyst involving the peroneal nerve, and 1 patient had his tibial nerve involved. Two patients were operated for recurrent ganglion cysts with severe postoperative neurological deficits, after preceding operations in other institutions. The other 2 patients had no history of previous surgery, and they had their initial surgical treatment in our institute for primarily diagnosed ganglion cysts. With a mean follow-up of 24 months, all patients experienced pain relief. Significant improvement of motor deficits was achieved in 3 patients. No recurrences were encountered during the 24-month follow-up. Conclusion: Intraneural ganglion cysts in children can be treated with excellent outcome in experienced and dedicated centers, which specialize in peripheral nerve microsurgery. (C) 2014 S.
