Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America. Our review of the literature found few reports of Lyme disease presented in the orthopaedic literature. However, Lyme disease presenting as a popliteal cyst, with or without rupture, is rarely reported. We present 4 cases of Lyme disease that initially presented to our pediatric orthopaedic clinic for treatment of a popliteal cyst. The early diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease may help prevent the often-devastating long-term sequelae of Lyme disease. The goal of this article is to increase the awareness of Lyme disease presenting in children as a popliteal cyst.
莱姆病是北美最常见的蜱传疾病。我们对文献的回顾发现，骨科文献中关于莱姆病的报道很少。然而，以腘窝囊肿形式出现的莱姆病，无论有无破裂，都鲜有报道。我们报告4例最初因腘窝囊肿到我们儿科骨科诊所就诊的莱姆病病例。莱姆病的早期诊断和治疗可能有助于预防莱姆病常见的严重长期后遗症。本文的目的是提高对儿童以腘窝囊肿形式出现的莱姆病的认识。
