AI Article Synopsis
- Periosteal ganglion cysts are rare, affecting only 55 out of 100,000 people annually, and can cause damage to the bone surface.
- A 68-year-old male presented with a painless lump in his left leg, which was diagnosed as a periosteal ganglion cyst through MRI and confirmed by histopathology after excisional biopsy.
- The origin of these cysts is not well understood, but surgical treatment is necessary when symptoms persist, and complete removal is crucial to avoid recurrence, as evidenced by the patient's symptom-free status at six months post-surgery.
Article Abstract
Introduction And Importance: Periosteal ganglion cyst is a rare disorder, found only in 55 out of 100,000 people annually. Periosteal ganglion location may cause partial external cortical destruction with irregular saucerization and erosion. This report presents a rare case of periosteal ganglion cyst that occurred of the cruris sinistra.
Case Presentation: A male patient, 68 years old, came with complaint of a lump in the left cruris since one year ago. Nine months later, the lump has increased in size like a chicken egg and still felt painless. MRI result revealed a well-circumscribed multilocular cystic lesion in the peri-osseous soft tissue of the tibia. We performed directly excisional biopsy within the mass, and the histopathology result was periosteal ganglion cyst.
Clinical Discussion: The exact pathogenesis of periosteal ganglion is unclear. Synovial herniation and mucoid degeneration of the connective tissue of the periosteum are two suggested mechanisms. In some cases, ganglion cysts may compress nearby nerves. Surgical treatment is recommended for patients who still experience symptoms after non-surgical management has failed. Complete resection of the cyst and surrounding periosteum is recommended to prevent recurrence. After 6 months post-operative follow up clinical examination, no recurrence symptoms founded on the patient.
Conclusion: Periosteal ganglion is a rare lesion and may mimic other bone surface lesions. Resection of the periosteal ganglion cyst with surrounding periosteum is important to prevent recurrence.

Objective: Following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), the most prevalent and profoundly debilitating occurrence is the emergence of an acute and persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH), for which there are presently no approved treatments. A crucial gap in knowledge exists regarding the consequences of an mTBI, which could serve as a foundation for the development of therapeutic approaches. The activation of trigeminal sensory nerve terminals that innervate the calvarial periosteum (CP)-a densely innervated tissue layer covering the calvarial skull-has been implicated in both migraines and PTHs.

Article Synopsis
- Menkes disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects copper metabolism, leading to various health issues, particularly in the nervous system and connective tissues.
- Diagnostic markers like serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels are unreliable, making imaging techniques crucial for identifying the disease.
- A case study of a 4-month-old boy highlighted significant neurological symptoms and imaging findings, confirming Menkes disease through genetic testing, but unfortunately, treatment did not improve his condition, resulting in his death three months later.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplasia of B plasma cells that often induces bone pain. However, the mechanisms underlying myeloma-induced bone pain (MIBP) are mostly unknown. Using a syngeneic MM mouse model, we show that periosteal nerve sprouting of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) fibers occurs concurrent to the onset of nociception and its blockade provides transient pain relief.
