We describe an unusual case of digital neuropathy of the thumb due to compression of the median nerve in the distal forearm by an extruded ganglion cyst originating from the radio-scaphoid joint of the wrist. Electrophysiologically, both conduction slowing and block of median motor and sensory axons were present across the cyst. These changes improved after surgery.
