Foot and Ankle ganglion cyst - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes ganglion cysts - Foot and Ankle.

Follow me on twitter:

Ganglion cysts can occur anywhere. They usually occur at the wrist area, however ganglion cysts may occur at the foot (usually at the top of the foot). This mass can change in size, and it may grow slowly. The patient notices a mass usually on the top of the foot. The mass is usually asymptomatic. The patient may have burning sensation due to irritation of the nerve when the ganglion compresses the nerve. The patient may skin irritation and also may have difficulty in walking and wearing shoes. If the ganglion is pushing on a nerve and causing irritation, aspiration or surgical removal of the cyst can help in relieving the symptoms. We need to differentiate ganglion cyst of the foot from plantar fibromatosis. Plantar fibromatosis occurs at the bottom of the foot. Ganglion cysts will transilluminate. Plantar fibromatosis. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy which is caused by compression of the tibial nerve around the ankle region. A ganglion cyst can be one of the intrinsic causes of tibial nerve compression. In the tarsal tunnel, the patient may have pain and burning sensation. An MRI is probably needed for the diagnosis of a ganglion cyst in the tarsal tunnel. They found that the best result after surgery occurs when there is a ganglion cyst compressing on the nerve and this cyst is removed.

They use to hit them with a Bible (or big book) back in the day to bust the cyst. I did it on my wrist. I smacked it real hard and it disappeared
