Background Intraneural ganglion cysts usually arise from the articular branch of the nerve. The relationship between intraneural ganglion cysts and trauma is not clear. Case presentation We report a case of a 62-year-old female with a rapidly progressive foot drop caused by a posttraumatic intraneural ganglion cyst of the deep peroneal nerve. We excised the ganglion cyst and performed nerve decompression. After the surgery, the patient had a functional recovery. Conclusions The concurrence of an intraneural ganglion cyst and trauma may increase damage to the nerve, although it is difficult to diagnosis before an operation. Early diagnosis and early proactive interventions would likely be associated with a good outcome.
