title: A ganglion within the ulnar nerve and communication with the distal radioulnar joint via an articular branch: case report.
abstract: An intraneural ganglion is rare, and involvement of an articular nerve may suggest a possible pathogenesis. We report an intraneural ganglion of the ulnar nerve with a connection to the distal radioulnar joint via the articular branch. We excised the ganglion, the stalk, and the articular branch. To date, there has been no recurrence.
