Popliteal cysts or Baker's cysts in childhood is a rare disease usually found by the parents. The purpose of this study is to study the recurrence rate after primary surgical resection and conservative treatment of the cysts. We retrospectively found 20 children with Baker's cysts treated at Ribe Amts Hospitals during the period 1992-1998. Thirteen patients were treated conservatively and seven had a surgical resection of the cysts performed. Of the 13 conservatively treated patients the cysts was still present in six patients (46%). In seven patients the cysts had disappeared within nine months. In the surgically treated group the cysts recurred in three patients (43%). Surgical intervention for Baker's cysts in children should only be performed after thorough consideration, due to a high recurrence rate.
儿童腘窝囊肿或贝克囊肿是一种罕见疾病，通常由家长发现。本研究的目的是研究囊肿初次手术切除和保守治疗后的复发率。我们回顾性地找出了1992年至1998年期间在里伯郡医院接受治疗的20例患有贝克囊肿的儿童。13例患者接受了保守治疗，7例患者进行了囊肿手术切除。在13例接受保守治疗的患者中，6例（46%）囊肿仍然存在。7例患者的囊肿在9个月内消失。在手术治疗组中，3例患者（43%）囊肿复发。由于复发率高，儿童贝克囊肿的手术干预应在充分考虑后进行。
