Abstract
The authors describe a symptomatic intraosseous ganglion of the lunate communicating directly with the scapholunate joint. The communication was demonstrated by arthrography and computed tomography. This case i s believed to be the first reported in which the communication was sho wn by arthrography. Demonstration of such a communication can obviate the need for further imaging to diagnose the lesion. A review of intra osseous ganglia of the hand and their treatment is presented.
