The common peroneal nerve is a major source of innervation to the lower limb, but
it is sometimes compressed or entrapped at the fibular head. The authors present
what they believe is the first reported case where peroneal nerve impingement
caused by ganglion cyst compression of the nerve at the fibular head was
diagnosed using a combination of ultrasound imaging and electrodiagnostic
studies. The authors described the history, physical examination,
electrodiagnostic findings, and musculoskeletal ultrasound findings of a patient
with a left foot drop caused by a ganglion cyst compressing the common peroneal
nerve at the fibular head. The increasing role of ultrasound imaging to evaluate
musculoskeletal pathology is discussed.
