“…This difference was found to not be statistically significant (p= 0.93). In MRI, Baker's cyst appears as a well-defined unilocular or multilocular cystic mass, located posteromedially between the tendon of the semimembranosus and the medial head of gastrocnemius [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Baker's cyst can be effectively diagnosed with MRI since the fluid-distented gastrocnemiussemimembranosus bursa is easily depicted on T 2 -weighted MR images, especially in the axial plane.…”

“…This cystic lesion is formed as a separate synovial space between the quadriceps tendon and the femur, proximal to the knee joint capsule cranial to patella 4,6 . It is best demonstrated on MRI as a focal fluid collection anterior to the distal femoral diaphysis, separated from the knee joint by a thin intact suprapatellar plica as shown in Table / Figure 1a.…”

Purpose: Painful knee is a common clinical scenario in any outpatient clinic. Although, the commonest cause of painful knee is blunt trauma, many non traumatic cystic lesions too present as painful knee. For appropriate management of these conditions, a correct diagnosis is required. Clinical examination alone is often not sufficient to reach the exact diagnosis in patients with underlying cystic lesions manifesting as painful knee. Here comes the role of imaging. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate how imaging can help in pinpointing the exact cause of cystic lesion presenting as painful knee and therefore assist in proper management. Material and Methods: 50 consecutive patients with painful knee as the presenting complaint were radiologically evaluated for assessing how common are cystic lesions as the cause of knee pain. The findings were then noted in this descriptive study. Results: 26 patients were found to have an underlying cystic lesion as the cause of painful knee. Popliteal cyst was the commonest lesion and was seen in 12 cases. Suprapatellar bursitis as well as infrapatellar bursitis was seen in 3 cases each. Meniscal cyst was seen in 8 cases. Conclusion:Painful knee can be a presenting symptom of many cystic lesions of knee. Ultrasound can show the cystic abnormality, but it is only the Magnetic Resonance Imaging which can demonstrate the complete entity. Key Words:Painful Knee; MRI; Ultrasound; Cystic Lesions ÖZET Amaç: Ağrılı diz; ayakta tedavi edilen hastalarda yaygın bir durumdur. Ağrılı dizin en yaygın nedeni künt travma olmasına rağmen bir çok travmatik olmayan kistik lezyonlarda ağrılı dize aracılık eder. Böyle durumların yönetimi için öncelikle doğru teşhis gereklidir. Klinik inceleme çoğu zaman ağrılı dize aracılık eden kistik lezyonlara sahip hastalarda doğru teşhis açısından tek başına yeterli olmaz. Bu notkada görüntülemenin önemi ortaya çıkar. Bu çalışma ağrılı dize aracılık eden kistik lezyonların kesin nedenini belirleyebilmede görüntülemenin nasıl yardımcı olabileceğini göstermek ve böylece doğru yönledirmeyi sunmak içindi. Materyal ve Method:Ağrılı diz şikayeti olan 50 hasta, ağrılı dize neden olan kistik lezyonların hangi durumlarda yaygın olduğunu göstermek için radyolojik olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular bu tanımlayıcı çalışmada kaydedildi. Bulgular: 26 hastanın ağrılı dize neden olan kistik lezyonlara sahip olduğu bulundu. Popliteal kist 12 vakada görülmüş olup en yaygın lezyon olarak kaydedildi. İnfrapatellar bursan iltihaplanması yanı sıra suprapatellar bursan iltihaplanması 3 vakada gözlendi. Menisküs kist ise 8 vakada gözlendi.

“…Some of the pain does not emanate from the joint itself but rather from the structures near the joint that contain pain fibers. Wide ranges of periarticular lesions occur around the knee joint, including popliteal Baker cyst (BC) (Vasilevska et.al., 2008, Janzen et al, 1994 and friction of the iliotibial band (ITBF) (Vasilevska et al, 2009). Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an inflammatory overuse disorder affecting soft tissue, interposed between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral condyle, caused by chronic friction (Muhle et al, 1999).…”
