A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled bump associated with a joint or tendon sheath. [3] It most often occurs at the back of the wrist , followed by the front of the wrist. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
Unicameral bone cysts can be classified into two categories: active and latent. [4] An active cyst is adjacent to the epiphyseal plate and tends to grow until it fills the entire diaphysis , the shaft, of the bone; depending on the invasiveness of the cyst, it can cause a pathological fracture or even destroy the epiphyseal plate leading to the ...
Some unicameral bone cysts may spontaneously resolve without medical intervention. Specific treatments are determined based on the size of the cyst, the strength of the bone, medical history, extent of the disease, activity level, symptoms an individual is experiencing, and tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies.

When water is in an environment where it can freely tumble, relaxation tends to take longer. In certain clinical situations, this can generate contrast between an area of pathology and the surrounding healthy tissue. To sensitize MRI images to diffusion, the magnetic field strength (B1) is varied linearly by a pulsed field gradient.
The incision is made behind the ankle bone and then down towards but not as far as the bottom of foot. The posterior tibial nerve is identified above the ankle. It is separated from the accompanying artery and vein and then followed into the tunnel. The nerves are released. Cysts or other space-occupying problems may be corrected at this time.
A pseudoganglion looks like a ganglion, but only has nerve fibers and has no nerve cell bodies. Structure ... Ganglion cyst; Nervous system; Neuron; Chiasm; References
The magnetic resonance frequency measured with an SWI scan was shown to be sensitive to MS lesion formation. The frequency increases months before a new lesion appears on a contrast enhanced scan. At the time of contrast enhancement the frequency increases rapidly and remains elevated for at least six months. [5] [6]
Tarlov cysts are most commonly located in the S1 to S4/S5 region of the spinal canal, but can be found along any region of the spine.They usually form on the extradural components of sacrococcygeal nerve roots at the junction of dorsal root ganglion and posterior nerve roots and arise between the endoneurium and perineurium.
