Abstract

Superficial radial intraneural ganglion cysts are rare. Only nine previous cases have been described. We provide two examples with a wrist joint connection and review the literature to provide further support for the unifying articular (synovial) theory for the pathogenesis and treatment of intraneural ganglia.
