A six-year outcome study of the treatment of ganglion cysts on the dorsal wrist compared excision, aspiration, and no treatment. Neither excision nor aspiration provided long-term benefit better than no treatment. Of the untreated ganglion cysts, 58% resolved spontaneously; the postsurgery recurrence rate in this study was 39%. [31]
Surgery has been the most common form of treatment for both localized [3]: 101 [5]: 361 and diffuse TGCT. [ 3 ] : 103 [ 5 ] : 361 [ 10 ] : 1 After surgery, patients may receive physical therapy in order to help rehabilitate affected joints.
A ganglionectomy, also called a gangliectomy, is the surgical removal of a ganglion. [1] The removal of a ganglion cyst usually requires a ganglionectomy. Such cysts usually form on the hand, foot or wrist and may cause pain or impair body function. Aspiration of the cyst and steroid injections are typically
A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment. [4] It is typically diagnosed in under 20 year olds. [1] Although unicameral bone cysts can form in any bone structure, it is predominantly found in the proximal humerus and proximal femur; additionally, it affects males twice as often as females ...
An exostosis, also known as a bone spur, is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone. [1] Exostoses can cause chronic pain ranging from mild to debilitatingly severe, depending on the shape, size, and location of the lesion.
Treatment is usually by curettage, bone grafting or surgically removing the part of bone. [2] 20–30% may recur, usually in the first couple of years after treatment, particularly in children. [2] It is rare. [3] The incidence is around 0.15 cases per one million per year. [1] Aneurysmal bone cyst was first described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein ...
Ulnar tunnel syndrome is usually caused by a ganglion cyst pressing on the ulnar nerve, other causes include traumas to the wrist and repetitive movements, but often the cause is unknown (idiopathic). [2] Long distance bicycle rides are associated with transient alterations in ulnar nerve function. [3]
Enhancement patterns are highly variable, ranging from minimal to marked, and may be solid, rim, or nodular. Adjacent cord edema and syringomyelia and peritumoral cysts may be present in addition to reactive scoliosis. It is nearly impossible to differentiate ganglioglioma from other more common intramedullary neoplasms based on imaging alone.
