1/21. Pseudothrombophlebitis in a patient with Behcet's syndrome: Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings.A 33-year-old man with a known diagnosis of Behcet's syndrome (BS), presented with pseudothrombophlebitis resulting from acute rupture of a popliteal cyst. Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings are explained. Differentiation of rupture of a Baker's cyst from true thrombophlebitis, especially in patients with BS, who are potentially susceptible to thrombotic events, is extremely important.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/21. Haemorrhage into a popliteal cyst: an unusual complication of haemophilia A.A 7(1/2)-year-old boy with severe haemophilia A had increasing discomfort and pain in his left knee after sledding on ice and landing on his knees. Left knee pain persisted for days despite recombinant factor viii replacement. Imaging studies showed that by day 10 a popliteal cyst had ruptured, with diffusion of blood into the calf muscles. This case illustrates another possible bleeding complication in patients with a bleeding disorder and a popliteal cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/21. rupture of Baker's cyst producing pseudothrombophlebitis in a patient with Reiter's syndrome.This is an unusual case of pseudothrombophlebitis resulting from rupture of Baker's cyst in a patient with Reiter's syndrome. The patient presented with a swollen, painful left calf and persistent itching on the skin of the calf. ultrasonography showed a ruptured popliteal cyst with minimal hemorrhage and fluid collection within the fascial compartments and gastrocnemius muscle. color Doppler ultrasound showed a patent popliteal vein and artery and duplex Doppler scans revealed a normal flow pattern. In conclusion, the clinical picture of deep vein thrombosis and that of pseudothrombophlebitis are difficult to distinguish by clinical examination and necessitate detailed examination by imaging techniques. Persistent pruritus on calf skin resulting from irritation of inflammatory synovial fluid may be an important clinical feature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/21. Anterolateral rupture of popliteal cysts in rheumatoid arthritis.Popliteal cysts occur commonly in both normal and arthritic knees. Most cysts are formed by distension of the medially situated semimembranosus bursa. Popliteus bursa distension occurs uncommonly as a lateral popliteal cyst. Two cases of rupture of lateral cysts which produced symptoms related to the anterolateral lower leg are reported. The difficulty of diagnosing the condition because of this unusual site of inflammation and subsequent management problems are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/21. Episodic intermittent claudication associated with a Baker's cyst.Baker first described synovial cysts in the leg in connection with diseases of the knee joint. Whilst the majority are asymptomatic, some present as a localised swelling behind the knee, and others either compress the popliteal vein or rupture and can be misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis; transmitted pulsation through the cyst can suggest the presence of a popliteal aneurysm. This paper documents a case of intermittent claudication of the lower limb secondary to compression of the popliteal artery by a Baker's cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/21. Posterior compartment syndrome following ruptured Baker's cyst.A 35 year old man presented with the sudden onset of left leg pain and swelling. Empirical anticoagulation for presumed deep vein thrombophlebitis was followed by acute worsening of symptoms. On further evaluation the patient was found to have a ruptured Baker's cyst and an acute posterior compartment syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/21. Pseudothrombophlebitis in neuropathic arthropathy.The pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome is a complication of large, ruptured, or dissecting popliteal cysts. We report a patient with neuropathic arthropathy of the knee and the pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome secondary to a dissecting popliteal cyst. This represents another form of arthritis associated with this syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/21. magnetic resonance imaging of ruptured Baker's cyst.The clinical presentation of a ruptured Baker's cyst and of thrombophlebitis can be identical. Venography, arthrography, and more recently ultrasonography have been used to differentiate these two entities. We report a patient with a ruptured Baker's cyst who was also evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The soft-tissue abnormalities were better demonstrated by MRI than by the other imaging methods.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/21. Recurrent rupture of a popliteal cyst in a patient with chronic tophaceous gout.Popliteal cysts which rupture to mimic a deep vein thrombosis (DTV) can be seen in rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritides. gout with cystal synovitis and ruptured popliteal cyst has only been sporadically reported and nowhere has this occurred more than once.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/21. Popliteal cysts in a pediatric patient.A 12-year-old boy with recurrent complaints of knee pain and swelling for six months, but without diagnosed rheumatological disease, presented with calf swelling and knee pain of several days duration. Examination revealed findings consistent with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and a ruptured Baker's cyst. This is the sixth reported case of ruptured Baker's cyst reported in a child less than 14 years old and should alert emergency physicians that calf pain and swelling secondary to a ruptured popliteal (Baker's) cyst may be an early manifestation of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = rupture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
