Unsual ganglion cyst in intercondylar notch in childern
There
is evidence of fluid signal in the region of the intercondylar notch with
anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments normally visualized. This finding
particularly with no history of trauma and intact cruciate ligaments indicates
ganglion cyst of the intercondylar notch. The incidence of ganglion cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
has increased significantly since the advent of MRI, but it remains exceptional
in children. This is a case of 9-year-old boy, with an exceptional imaging exam
finding of a ganglion cyst. Ganglion
cyst of the ACL in children differs in pathogenesis from common degenerative
cyst in adults.
