Abstract:
Ganglion cysts usually occur around the wrist. Occasionally, they can also occur around the shoulder in the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches. Rarely they can be found on the long head of biceps as it traverses the glenohumeral joint. Such lesions are usually diagnosed on MRI and might need minor surgery. We present the case of a young athlete with a rare location of ganglion cyst, successfully diagnosed and managed non-invasively by using sonography. This represents a time and cost-conscious approach as compared to traditional methods.

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
Sympathetic Pathways: Collateral Ganglia and Adrenal Medulla
Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...
