14 lip 2015 · Preoperative imaging studies can be helpful, particularly MRI. Here, we have reported a rare case of an intramuscular ganglionic cyst and the distinction among the popliteal cystic masses in order to help with their diagnosis and treatment.
13 wrz 2016 · Ruptured cysts often demonstrate fluid tracking deep to deep fascia and superficial to the medial head of the gastrocnemius (Fig 2d–e). In the acute phase there may be diffuse subcutaneous oedema and pain. At MRI, the cyst has fluid signal characteristics on all sequences.
6 lip 2023 · Popliteal cysts in adults are often associated with osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint disease, or joint injury. They usually communicate with the adjacent knee joint space, especially in older patients with knee pathology; communicating cysts contain synovial fluid.
28 lip 2014 · Popliteal cysts may present as either a chronically persistent or relapsing condition or as an acute and dramatic condition that can occur in the case of cyst rupture presenting as...
1 mar 2014 · It is important to be aware of the normal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearance of the popliteus musculotendinous complex and its relation to other structures of the posterolateral corner for accurate diagnosis. It is also important to be aware of the pitfalls in imaging of the popliteus.
12 mar 2013 · MRI can contribute to treatment planning because it allows visualisation of both the cyst and the presence of oedema in the innervated muscles [20, 21]. Detection of MR signs of muscle denervation should be regarded as indicative of surgical nerve decompression.
