OBJECTIVE. The purposeof this studywasto developimagingcriteriafor the diagnosis of meniscocapsular separation by correlating findings on MR imaging, MR arthrography, and sonography of normal and abnormal medial meniscocapsular structures with corresponding anatomic sections in cadavers. MATERIALSAND METHODS. Eightcadaveric kneespecimens wereexaminedwith MRimaging, MR arthrography, and sonography before arthroscopy. In six specimens the following lesions were arthroscopically created: meniscocapsular separation (n = 3), medial collateral liga ment (MCL) tear (ii = 3), tear of the meniscofemoral extension of the deep MCL (n = 2), and cor onary ligament tear (n = 2). After arthroscopy, all imaging studies were repeated. The specimens were sectioned for correlation with imaging studies. RESULTS. MR findingsthatcorrelatedwith meniscocapsular separation were interposition of fluid between the meniscus and the MCL, irregular meniscal outline, and increased distance between the meniscus and the MCL. On MR arthrography meniscocapsular separation corre

“…The mean diameter of the tumors was 9.2 cm (range, 2.5-i 5.0 cm). A septated configuration has also been reported to be a characteristic MR feature in two types of benign soft-tissue masses: hemangiomas and synovial and ganglionic cysts [4,5]. Typically, these soft-tissue masses are sharply marginated and have a homogeneous hypenintense signal that is much brighten than that of the subcutaneous fat on T2-weighted images [4,5].…”

“…The differential diagnoses for ganglion cysts of the ACL include pigmented villonodular synovitis, haemangioma, synovial sarcoma, synovial proliferation, myxoma, fibroma, synovial chondromatosis, meniscal cyst and aneurysm. (7)(8)(9)(10) While these disorders usually have characteristic features on MR imaging, a tissue sample for histologic examination would be helpful in confirming any diagnosis made. Arthroscopic resection is the preferred treatment, as it is associated with a low rate of recurrence.…”
