Cystic lesions around the knee are a relatively common occurrence. Several types of cysts have been reported, including synovial, bursal, and ganglion. Ganglion cysts are not lined by synovial cells. Their location is highly variable, with occurrences described in the fat pads near the tibia or femur, muscles, nerves, and arteries. Intraneural ganglia are rare nonneoplastic cysts caused by the ...

Painful patellar partita complicated with intraarticular ganglion cysts arising from the cruciate ligament is difficult to diagnose from the symptoms alone. In the patient reported here, knee pain was caused by patellar partita and by cysts attached anteriorly to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The fragment of the bipartite patella was excised, and the cysts were resected arthroscopicall...

loskeletal system has become a well recognized and useful diagnostic method, especially for soft tissue lesions, and its use has been increasing. Ganglion cysts are common lesions which can be easily diagnosed in a clinician office, and in most cases do not, therefore, require further sophisticated and costly evaluation. They can be identified incidentally during the evaluation of MR images obt...

Here we report a unique case of bilateral ganglion cysts originating from the ligamentum flavum in the cervical spine. Degenerative cysts of the ligamentum flavum are rare lesions, and most had been reported in the lumbar spine. Its occurrence in the cervical spine is extremely rare: only eight have been reported. A 66-year-old male patient presented with progressive paraparesis, pain, and pare...

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare and most frequently are an incidental finding on MRI and arthroscopy. Most of the previous studies have reported a single ganglion cyst in the knee. There have been previous reports of more than one cyst in the same knee but not in the same structure within the knee. We are reporting a case of dual ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) gangli...

Synovial or ganglion cysts are uncommon lesions that may occur within the spinal canal. Over 50 reported cases have demonstrated a preponderant incidence at the L4-L5 level in association with degenerative hypertrophic facet changes ( 1, 2). The typical computed tomography (CT) appearance is that of an epidural lowdensity lesion adjacent to the degenerated facet joint that may or may not have a...
