Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt, [email protected]. Abstract Ankle pain is a common complaint in orthopedic practice. Various imaging techniques are available for assessment of ankle joint abnormalities. However, many ankle injuries were undiagnosed by conventional radiology and needs further evaluation to diagnose ligamentous, tendinous and muscle injuries as well as osseous lesions as stress fractures, osteochondral lesions, and avascular necrosis. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of both ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of pain around the ankle in different musculoskeletal disorders. Ultrasonography and MRI are two complementary tools of investigation with the former being used as primary tool of investigation and the latter is done to confirm the diagnosis and the extent of the lesion especially when surgical interference is planned. Keywords: Ankle pain, Musculoskeletal disorders, Ultrasonography, MRI. Introduction The ankle is a “hinged” joint capable of moving the is surrounded by a fibrous joint capsule. The tendons foot in two primary directions: away from the body attach the muscles of the leg to the foot wrap around the ankle both from the front and behind. A large tendon (Achilles tendon) passes behind the ankle (plantar flexion) and toward the body (dorsiflexion). and attaches at the back of the heel. The posterior It is formed by the meeting of three bones. The end of tibial tendon passes behind the medial malleolus. The both the tibia and the fibula meet the talus, to form the to attach into the foot (2). peroneal tendon passes behind the lateral malleolus ankle. The end of the tibia forms the medial portion The normal ankle joint is capable of moving the foot eof the ankle, while the end of the fibula forms the lateral portion of the ankle.

Wilson, MD,1 Marie-Noëlle Hébert-Blouin, MD,2 Naveen S. Murthy, MD,3 Joaquín J. García, MD,4 Kimberly K. Amrami, MD,3 and Robert J. Spinner, MD1 Departments of 1Neurosurgery, 3Radiology, and 4Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and 2Department of Neurosurgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada OBJECTIVE The authors have observed that a subset of patients referred for evaluation of peroneal neuropathy with “negative” findings on MRI of the knee have subtle evidence of a peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst on subsequent closer inspection. The objective of this study was to introduce the nearly invisible peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst and provide illustrative cases. The authors further wanted to identify clues to the presence of a nearly invisible cyst. METHODS Illustrative cases demonstrating nearly invisible peroneal intraneural ganglion cysts were retrospectively reviewed and are presented. Case history and physical examination, imaging, and intraoperative findings were reviewed for each case. The outcomes of interest were the size and configuration of peroneal intraneural ganglion cysts over time, relative to various interventions that were performed, and in relation to physical examination and electrodiagnostic find- ings. RESULTS The authors present a series of cases that highlight the dynamic nature of peroneal intraneural ganglion cysts and introduce the nearly invisible cyst as a new and emerging part of the spectrum. The cases demonstrate changes in size and morphology over time of both the intraneural and extraneural compartments of these cysts.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:- Our study was a retrospective study done over a period of 2 years from Jan 2015 to Jan 2017 in Cytology section of Pathology department of our hospital. Sixteen cases including ganglion cysts, synovial cysts and popliteal cysts from different articular and periarticular sites were studied. RESULTS:- In our study out of 16 cases, there were 10 (62.5%) cases of ganglion cysts, 3 (18.7%) cases of synovial cysts and 3 (18.7%) cases of popliteal cysts. The male to female ratio (M: F) for these lesions was 1:1.6 and were predominantly found in third decade (21-30 years). CONCLUSION:- FNAC offers a great diagnostic utility in articular and periarticular cystic lesions being an OPD procedure having low cost.

Trauma & Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, IND Corresponding author: Sudarsan Behera, [email protected] Disclosures can be found in Additional Information at the end of the article Abstract Cystic lesion around knee usually presents as painless swelling and diagnosed incidentally by imaging for any internal derangement of the knee. Few cases presented with pain. Intra- tendinous patellar ganglion is very rare in location for the disease. Ganglionic cyst usually treated by aspiration followed by steroid and surgical excision in some cases. We reported a case with anterior knee pain due to patellar intra-tendinous ganglion cyst which treated conservatively with no recurrence even after one year. Categories: Radiology, Orthopedics, Anatomy Keywords: ganglion cyst, patellar intra-tendinous sheath, knee pain Introduction A ganglion is a benign cystic mass containing clear high-viscosity mucinous fluid with a dense fibrous connective tissue capsule lined by flat spindle-shaped cells that is rich in hyaluronic acid and other mucopolysaccharides [1, 2]. Ganglia usually arises from periarticular locations with a variable for predilection intra-articular, extra-articular soft tissue, intraosseous and rarely from periosteal locations [1,3,4]. Majority of the patients are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on imaging. Clinical presentation depends on the location and size of the ganglion.
