Synovial Cyst: A Culprit for Recalcitrant Iliotibial Band Syndrome: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the case of a 56-year old gentleman who presented with recalcitrant iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome which did not improve with various modalities of conservative treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the affected knee did not show pathology typical of ITB friction syndrome. However, open exploration revealed a synovial cyst deep to the iliotibial band, abutting against the anterolateral capsule. The presence of distinctive clinical signs on physical examination should alert clinicians to consider knee synovial cyst as a differential diagnosis when dealing with recalcitrant ITB syndrome.

Unusual Presentation of Synovial Sarcoma as Meniscal Cyst: A Case Report
Periarticular cyst and cystic soft tissue lesion around the knee are common. Synovial sarcoma is a rare and malignant soft tissue tumor accounting for approximately 5% of soft tissue sarcoma. A case is presented where a lesion adjacent to the joint line of the knee was diagnosed clinically and on imaging as a meniscal cyst. MRI signal was homogenous and no concomitant meniscal tears were seen...
متن کاملCutaneous Metaplastic Synovial Cyst: A Case Report
Cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst (CMSC), presents as a solitary, tender subcutaneous nodule that usually occurs at the site of previous surgery or trauma. Histologically, the lesion is characterized by a cystic structure with villous-like projections that lined by metaplastic synovial tissue. The main cause remains unclear, but trauma is presumed to be a precipitating factor, as most reporte...
متن کاملAmniotic Band Syndrome with the Involvement of Trunk: A Case Report
Amniotic Band Syndrome is a sporadic congenital disorder that may result in constriction bands, amputation and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. Its incidence is estimated at approximately 1:5000 to 1:10,000 pregnancies. Band formation most frequently affects the distal segments, including the hand. We report a case of constriction amniotic bands involving the trunk.
متن کاملA prospective study of iliotibial band strain in runners.
BACKGROUND Iliotibial band syndrome is the leading cause of lateral knee pain in runners. It is thought that pain develops from strain on the iliotibial band due to friction of the iliotibial band sliding over the lateral femoral epicondyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate mechanical strain in the iliotibial band as a possible causative factor in the development of iliotibial band ...
متن کاملBrown-Séquard Syndrome Caused by a Cervical Synovial Cyst
Synovial cysts are recognized as an uncommon cause of radicular and myelopathic symptoms. They are most frequently found in the lumbar region. The cervical spine or cervicothoracic junction is a rare location for a degenerative intraspinal synovial cyst as compared with the lumbar spine. At given cervical spinal levels, synovial cysts probably share clinical features with disc herniation and st...
