Compressive peroneal nerve neuropathy by ganglion cyst in an 11- year old boy, a case report

The Common Peroneal Nerve (CPN) is the most common compressive neuropathy in the lower limbs. However, CPN compression is a rare entity in the pediatric age group. We report an eleven-year-old child who presented with a right foot drop secondary to a ganglion cyst from the proximal tibiofibular joint and demonstrated recovery three months after nerve decompression.
