“…We also recognize that our “bursograms” presumably represented nondiseased states in our cadaveric specimens. The distended IP bursae in our nondiseased patients understandably appear quite different than distended IP bursae that are encountered in chronic disease states 2 , 5 , 15 . A similar difference occurs when comparing a nondistended semimembranosus‐medial gastrocnemius bursa containing a small amount of fluid to an enlarged dissecting Baker cyst.…”

“…Because the IP bursa is located between the deep surface of the IP tendon and the underlying bony structures (acetabular rim cephalad and hip joint caudad), IP bursopathy may be associated with IP tendon‐related pain 3 . Isolated IP bursopathy can also occur as a byproduct of intra‐articular hip disorders, due to the well‐documented communication of the hip joint with the IP bursa in some individuals 1 , 2 , 14 , 15 …”

“…Surgery has been recommended for the treatment of synovial cysts because such cysts frequently recur after needle aspiration. However, previous reports have shown that in some cases, simple needle aspiration resolved problems caused by synovial cysts [9, 10]. Because our patient had no symptoms at 7.5 years after needle aspiration despite residual cyst, we suggest that needle aspiration should be tried first.…”

“…Some authors consider phlebography the most sensitive diagnostic method to identify venous extrinsic compression. [3][4][5] However, we should take into account that it is an invasive method and that a careful ultrasound examination can not only diagnose the cyst and the hemodynamic significance of the compression, but also help us in its percutaneous puncture. [5][6][7][8][9][10] This method can help us diagnose presence or absence of cyst communication with the articular capsule and, therefore, define the best therapeutic conduct.…”
