There are several reports of symptomatic ganglion cysts near the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), but no reports of a symptomatic ganglion originating from the anterior aspect of the PCL in the deep recess between the posterior root of the medial meniscus and the PCL, bulging into the posteromedial joint space. In this report, we present the clinical features of a patient with a symptomatic ganglion cyst treated successfully by arthroscopic excision.

“…Ganglion cysts commonly occur in both intraarticular and extraarticular locations in the knee, while synovial cysts usually only occur in the popliteal space [2][3][4][5]. These posterior, or Baker's, cysts may arise without a clear etiology, although they have been reported to occur after total knee arthroplasty and are associated with several arthritic conditions [5][6][7][8].…”

There is almost no literature describing the management and rationale for intervention for posttraumatic, extra-articular synovial cysts of the knee. We describe the very rare case of a 45-year-old blind man who developed chronic knee pain after a traumatic injury. He was found to have a giant, posttraumatic, true synovial cyst of the knee in an extra-articular location and migrating down the anterior compartment. The surgical management, potential complications, and rationale for intervention are discussed.

“…47 In the knee, intra-articular ganglia have a prevalence of 0.2 to 1.9% on MR imaging, and a maleto-female ratio of 3 to 1. 48 The ganglia may arise from mucoid cystic degeneration and have been reported in association with this finding in the ACL. 49 With continuous stress, the periarticular connective tissue is believed to undergo mucoid degeneration.…”

Synovial membranes line the diarthrodial (movable) joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths of the body. The primary function of this specialized, vascular tissue is to serve as a filter system that lubricates and nourishes the articular structures as well as serving as a shock-absorber. The synovium is affected by a variety of disorders that can be localized to a specific articulation or can be systemic in nature. These include inflammatory, infectious, degenerative, traumatic, or neoplastic categories of disease. Further, MR imaging provides an excellent non-invasive tool for the evaluation of the synovium and synovial-based processes. This article will discuss technical considerations pertinent to the MR imaging evaluation of synovial processes in the knee; will review the synovial and bursal anatomy of the knee as well as the imaging characteristics of general synovial abnormalities and their diagnostic implications. In addition, it will review specific synovial processes and their characteristic MR imaging findings.
