“…Bursa1 distention was further confirmed by CT, which showed a sharply defined, septated cyst lying immediately beneath the pes anserinus tendon. CT imaging of anserine bursal distension has been documented in one previous case (5). In both our patient and the one described by Hall and Joffe (3, clear, thick, viscid, crystal-negative, acellular or relatively acellular, "noninflammatory " synovial fluid was aspirated from the anserine bursa.…”

“…It typically occurs in middle-aged, overweight women with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and angular deformities (1)(2)(3)(4). However, fluid distention of the anserine bursa and examination of bursal fluid have rarely been reported (5). We describe a patient with a large, fluid-distended anserine bursa and discuss the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic (CT) findings.…”

“…Previous reports on radiographic finding of PATB are rare. In a report by Hall and Joffe (10), computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a sharply defined low-attenuation cyst lying immediately beneath the pes anserinus tendon in a patient with non-tender mass on the anteromedial aspect of the leg below knee. The mass was not enhanced after injection of intravenous contrast material.…”

Correlation between Ultrasonographic Findings and The Response to Corticosteroid Injection in Pes Anserinus Tendinobursitis Syndrome in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients

The objectives of this study were to assess the ultrasonographic (US) findings in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) with pes anserinus tendinitis or bursitis (PATB) syndrome and to determine the correlation between the US findings and the response to local corticosteroid injection. We prospectively studied 26 patients with knee OA with clinically diagnosed PATB syndrome. A linear array 7 MHz transducer was used for US examination of the knee. Seventeen patients were injected locally with tramcinolone acetonide in the anserine bursa area. Response to local corticosteroid injection was evaluated by pain visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and MacMaster (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index and Global patient/physician assessment using Likert scale. On US examination, only 2 patients (8.7%) showed evidence of PATB. Pain VAS, WOMAC pain index and WOMAC physical function index improved significantly after corticosteroid injection. Global patient assessment revealed that 2 patients showed best response, 6 good, 1 fair, 8 the same, and none worse. It is of note that the 2 patients who showed the best response were those who showed US evidence of PATB. This finding shows that US can serve as a useful diagnostic tool for guiding treatment in PATB syndrome of OA patients.

“…Os autores indicaram que a distensão da bursa anserina não é sinônimo de bursite, pois o paciente não tinha qualquer sintoma, e que a síndrome pode ser uma tendinite ou fasciite afetando a inserção do pes anserinus. 26 A análise do líquido, apesar de raramente documentada na literatura, demonstrou células mononucleares ou ausência de células inflamatórias e ausência de cristais. 26,27 Em suma, a experiência da literatura mostra que os achados de ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada e de ressonância magnética geralmente não permitem identificar qual estrutura alterada é responsável pelos sintomas na síndrome da tendinite/bursite anserina.…”

Dor no joelho é uma condição comum na clínica diária e a patologia anserina, também conhecida como pata de ganso, tem sido considerada uma das principais causas. O diagnóstico tem sido realizado de maneira eminentemente clínica, o que tem gerado equívocos. Os pacientes queixam-se tipicamente de dor na parte medial do joelho, com sensibilidade na porção ínferomedial. Estudos de imagem têm sido realizados para esclarecer se tais pacientes possuem bursite, tendinite ou ambos os distúrbios na região conhecida como pata de ganso. Entretanto, o defeito estrutural responsável pelos sintomas permanece desconhecido, motivo pelo qual preferimos intitular como "Síndrome Anserina". O diabetes mellitus é um fator predisponente bem reconhecido. O sobrepeso e a osteoartrite de joelho parecem ser fatores adicionais de risco, contudo, seus papéis na gênese da moléstia ainda não são bem entendidos. O tratamento atual inclui anti-inflamatório, fisioterapia e infiltração de corticoide, com evolução muito variável, que oscila entre 10 dias e 36 meses. A falta de conhecimento sobre a etiofisiopatologia e dados epidemiológicos exige futuros estudos para esse frequente e intrigante distúrbio.Palavras-chave: bursite anserina, tendinite da pata de ganso, síndrome da bursite/tendinite anserina, pata de ganso.
