Intra osseous ganglion of scaphoid - Case report

Abstract

Though wrist pain has many musculoskeletal causes, the intraosseous non traumatic causes are very few. Intraosseous ganglion is an uncommon cause of chronic dull pain in the region of the wrist without any history of past or recent trauma. The case report highlights the main imaging findings of this uncommon condition. Intraosseous ganglion invariably shows communication with the parent bone and is unlikely to heal without intervention. Cross sectional imaging studies like CT and MRI are essential to make a diagnosis and help in planning for the treatment.
