Peroneal Nerve Palsy due to Synovial Cyst of Proximal Tibiofibular Joint
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
Synovial cysts are benign soft-tissue tumors that arise from synovial joints or tendon sheaths. Synovial cyst of proximal tibiofibular joint is a very rare condition, which is included in non-traumatic causes of peroneal nerve palsy. This article presents clinical, and radiological findings of peroneal nerve palsy in a 50-year-old male patient admitted with sudden drop foot. Based on the clinical examination, electroneuromyography data, magnetic rezonans image the compression of nerve by synovial cyst was confirmed. Peroneal nerve palsy was completely improved after surgical resection of synovial cyst and physical theraphy and rehabilitation. In conclusion, synovial cysts of proximal tibiofibular joint causing peroneal nerve palsy should be remembered as a possible differential diagnosis for patient with drop foot.
