Abstract

Among radiolucent lesions of the carpal bones, intraosseous ganglions are the most frequent. Most cases involve the lunate or scaphoid bones in the wrist. Two twin sisters aged 23 years were examined for the complaint of left-sided wrist pain. Physical examination and radiologic findings showed unilateral and symmetrical lesions in the left scaphoid bone suggesting intraosseous ganglions. Both patients underwent ganglion excision and grafting using autografts taken from the ipsilateral distal radius. Both patients were free of wrist pain during a three-year follow-up. Histopathologic examination of the excised lesions was consistent with intraosseous ganglion. Unilateral and symmetrical involvement of the same bone in these twin sisters suggests genetic transmission, which has not been previously reported for intraosseous ganglions.

Özet

Karpal kemiklerin radyolüsen lezyonları arasında en sık görülen intraosseöz gangliyonlardır. Bu lezyonların el bileğinde en sık yerleşimi ise lunat ve skafoid kemiklerdir. Yirmi üç yaşındaki ikiz kız kardeşlerin sol el bileklerindeki ağrı nedeniyle başvurması sonucunda, fizik muayene ve radyolojik incelemede skafoid kemikte tek taraflı, simetrik lezyonlar saptandı. İki olguya da skafoid kemiklerdeki intraosseöz gangliyonlar nedeniyle gangliyon eksizyonu ve aynı taraf radius alt uçlarından alınan otogreft ile greftleme uygulandı. Hastaların üç yıllık izleminde el bileği ağrısının ortadan kalktığı görüldü. Eksize edilen lezyonların patolojik incelemesi intraosseöz gangliyon ile uyumlu bulundu. Olgularımızın ikiz kardeş olması ve tutulumun aynı tarafta ve aynı kemikte olması genetik geçişi düşündürmektedir. İntraosseöz gangliyonların genetik geçişine dair herhangi bir bilgiye rastlanmamıştır.
