Wrist ganglion cyst enveloping radial artery

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Wrist ganglion cysts typically do not show noticeable symptoms but can affect aesthetics and even compress adjacent blood vessels and nerves. Compression therapy can eliminate cysts. However, caution is needed when treating cysts around the radial artery. This study examined a rare case of a wrist ganglion cyst that, after repeated compression and recurrence, enveloped the radial artery. This not only caused wrist swelling and pain but also increased the difficulty and risk of surgical treatment. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.41.1.9776 How to cite this: Zhu JF, Chen K.
