The treating physicians should be aware of intraneural ganglion cysts of the peroneal nerve in patients presenting with limb weakness, sensory deficits at the lateral and anterior side of the leg and foot, paresis or paralysis of the foot and ankle. MR imaging is the imaging modality of choice for a clear and accurate preoperative diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis and wrong treatment. In case of doubt, these patients should be managed in an orthopedic oncology setting with microsurgery facilities available for complete excision of the intraneural ganglion cyst.
