Abstract:
Psudoeganglion in relation to different nerves in the
body is a known anatomical fact .However there are
only a few references of pseudoganglion in relation to
deep peroneal nerve. The present work was
undertaken to study the form and occurrence of the
pseudoganglion situated along lateral terminal branch
of deep peroneal nerve. 20 cadaver lower limbs were
dissected for this purpose. Both macroscopic as well as
microscopic features of each ganglia was examined. All
20 lower limbs were found to have pseudoganglion. But
their gross structure varied from one another. Factors
responsible for formation of such ganglia has been
discussed. Occurrence of such pseudoganglia in our
body has to be emphasized as they can be mistaken for
abnormal structures.
