以超音波診斷後十字韌帶腱鞘囊腫：病例報告
Abstract
A ganglion cyst of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a rare condition and it is usually an incidental finding of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or arthroscopy. Recent advances in ultrasound technology and the development of high-resolution transducers have enabled detailed imaging of musculoskeletal structures. We describe a 21-year-old female who complained of left knee pain after a slip and fall. A sonogram showed an echo-free, multilocular lesion with posterior enhancement, just posterior to the PCL. A ganglion cyst of the PCL was suspected, and the diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by MRI. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a ganglion cyst of the PCL imaged by ultrasound. Ultrasonography may play a future role in the diagnosis of ganglion cysts of the PCL.
