Figure 2 Ultrasonography to identify cysts that affect peripheral nerves Figure 2 | Ultrasonography to identify cysts that affect peripheral nerves. a | Ultrasonography examination reveals a synovial cyst (dotted line) that is compressing and dislocating the ulnar nerve (arrows) in the Guyon canal in a 37-year-old man with acute sensory and motor impairment of the ulnar nerve and signs of axonal and demyelinating neuropathy in a nerve conduction study. b | In a 48-year-old man with pain in the fibular head region and impaired dorsiflexion of the foot and toe after jogging, ultrasonography revealed a ganglion cyst at the fibular head (arrows) causing axonal damage of fibular nerve and tibialis anterior muscle denervation evident with a nerve conduction study and needle electromyography.
