Abstract

We describe the treatment of a ganglion within the ulnar nerve at the elbow and apply the concept that an intraneural ganglion arises from the joint adjacent to the nerve in which the ganglion is located. Successful treatment of nerve compression and prevention of recurrence of the ganglion require disconnection of the nerve from the joint and deflation, not excision, of the ganglion.
