42077

Ganglion cysts of unknown etiology are cystic lesions that contain gel consistency, viscous, yellowish liquid. They are usually seen on hand, elbow and feet. Intra-articular gan-glion cyst of the knee is rare and the cysts arising from the posterior cruciate ligament are less common than cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament. Magnetic resonance imaging is the best and reliable diagnostic method of displaying the characteristic features of ganglion cyst originating from the posterior cruciate ligament, the relationship between intra-articular structures and the preoperative assessment. In this article, a rare case of ganglion cyst of the posterior cruciate ligament which is located intra-articular that is determined by magnetic resonance imaging is presented.
