Results: The IG group had a greater body mass index (30 vs 24 p < 0.005), more pain at the knee (52% of 22 vs 0% of 11 p < 0.005) or in the peroneal distribution (76% of 21 vs 27% of 1 p < 0.02), more frequent fluctuating weakness (48% of 21 vs 4% of 29 p < 0.01) with weight bearing (38%, p < 0.05), or a palpable mass (47% of 20, p < 0.01) at the fibular head. Methods: Clinical and electrodiagnostic features of 22 cases of IG were compared in a case-control study to 11 cases of CPN with imaging negative for IG. This study was designed to determine if there are clinical measures that distinguish CPN caused by IG from CPN without a clear proximate cause. Objective: Intraneural ganglia (IG) are an underappreciated but treatable cause of common peroneal neuropathy (CPN).
