The purpose of this study was to provide information on cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. This included an anatomical and radio-anatomical reminder of the cruciate ligaments of the knee, along with details of the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, anatomical risk factors, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and treatment of ACL cysts. A retrospective analysis was conducted, involving the review of 7 radioclinical records from the medical imaging department of Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat, covering a period of 3 years (2018-2020), during which 7 cases of ACL cysts were diagnosed. The results revealed that ACL cysts are a rare condition, frequently detected incidentally during the assessment of meniscal lesions. Symptoms commonly include knee pain and limited mobility, and MRI is considered the diagnostic modality of for distinguishing between simple fluid-filled cysts and infiltrative cysts, as well as for ruling out other differential diagnoses. Treatment options include radio-guided infiltration puncture and arthroscopic resection.
本研究的目的是提供有关膝关节前交叉韧带（ACL）囊肿的信息。这包括对膝关节交叉韧带的解剖学和放射解剖学提示，以及ACL囊肿的流行病学、病因发病机制、解剖学危险因素、临床表现、鉴别诊断和治疗的详细信息。进行了一项回顾性分析，涉及对拉巴特伊本·西那大学医院医学影像科7份放射临床记录的审查，涵盖3年时间（2018 - 2020年），在此期间诊断出7例ACL囊肿。结果显示，ACL囊肿是一种罕见病症，常在评估半月板损伤时偶然发现。常见症状包括膝关节疼痛和活动受限，MRI被认为是区分单纯液性囊肿和浸润性囊肿以及排除其他鉴别诊断的诊断方法。治疗选择包括放射引导下的浸润穿刺和关节镜切除。
