Resumen

Se presentan los resúmenes clínicos de dos pacientes que debutaron con mononeuropatía del ciático poplíteo externo en los cuales se palpaba una tumoración alrededor del nervio y que se comprobó de ubicación intraneural en el acto quirúrgico, corroborando el diagnóstico de ganglión por examen histopatológico. A diferencia de los gangliones extraneurales, los intraneurales han sido extrañamente reportados en la literatura. Se comentan aspectos de la técnica quirúrgica encaminados a evitar la recidiva tumoral que se acompaña de elevada morbilidad postoperatoria y se resalta el valor del examen ultrasonográfico en el diagnóstico preoperatorio de la patología.

Abstract

The clinical data of two patients operated for ganglion of the peroneal nerve are presented. They first carne in with peroneal mononeuropathy in which a tumor around the nerve was palpable. This finding was further confirmed during surgery and a diagnosis of ganglion was established through biopsy. This kind of ganglions, unlike extraneural ganglions, are not commonly found. Sorne cornments are made on the surgical procedures recommended to avoid relapsing, which is often associated with high post-operative morbidity. The diagnostic value of ultrasonogram is also highlighted.
