title: Ganglionic cysts of the peroneal nerve at the knee: CT and surgical correlation.
abstract: The CT appearance of two cases of ganglionic cysts of the common peroneal nerve at the knee is reported. In both cases the ganglion appeared as a cystic unenhanced lesion of mucoid density. The radiological findings were confirmed by surgery. The differences in the appearance of intraneural and extraneural ganglia are discussed.
