Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled structures that develop near joints and tendons. They are usually asymptomatic and rarely require treatment. Neural compression can be especially problematic, resulting in paralysis, paresthesia, or loss of function depending on the degree of compression and the nerve involved. The proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare site of ganglion cyst development, and therefore, peroneal nerve compression due to a ganglion cyst is uncommon; tibial nerve compression from this cause is exceptional. Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial for managing this condition and its complications.

Palabras llave : ganglion; ganglion cyst; proximal tibiofibular joint; neural compression; posterior tibial nerve.
