We have studied retrospectively the epidemiological features of popliteal cysts in adults and the incidence of associated intra-articular disorders in a series of 1001 patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging who had been randomly referred to our institution. Images of popliteal cysts were seen in 4.7% of this group which is lower than in other studies with different imaging techniques. A communication with the joint was invariably found. The cysts were associated with one, or more, disorders detected by MRI in 94%. The commonest lesions were meniscal (83%), frequently involving the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, chondral (43%), and anterior cruciate ligament tears. Our data suggest that intra-articular disorders may play an important role in the pathogenesis of popliteal cysts in adults.
我们回顾性研究了1001例因随机转诊至我院接受磁共振成像检查的成人腘窝囊肿的流行病学特征及相关关节内疾病的发生率。该组患者中4.7%可见腘窝囊肿影像，这一比例低于其他采用不同成像技术的研究。无一例外均发现囊肿与关节相通。94%的囊肿与磁共振成像检测到的一种或多种疾病相关。最常见的病变是半月板损伤（83%），常累及内侧半月板后角，软骨损伤（43%），以及前交叉韧带撕裂。我们的数据表明，关节内疾病可能在成人腘窝囊肿的发病机制中起重要作用。
