Abstract

Objective: The presence of popliteal cysts is common, although often unkown to the patient. When spontaneous rupture occurs, the clinical presentation is typically dramatic, frequently prompting the patient to seek emergency care. Eventually the condition can be mistaken for other pathologies, more commonly deep vein thrombosis, leading to inappropriate treatment. The objective of this study is to describe a case series of spontaneous Baker's cyst ruptures, with a 2-year follow-up.

Methods: Sixteen consecutive patients with symptomatic ruptured popliteal cyst were treated acutely with anti-inflammatory measures and physical therapy.

Results: All patients had a good resolution of their cases with conservative treatment over an average period of one week, and there was no recurrence of cyst rupture.

Conclusion: Spontaneous rupture of Baker's cyst in adult patients can be very symptomatic and disabling; however, once diagnosed, it responds well to conservative treatment and rarely recurs. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series.

贝克氏囊肿系列的自发性破裂。

目的：腘窝囊肿的存在是常见的，尽管通常不为患者所知。当自发破裂发生时，临床表现通常是戏剧性的，经常促使患者寻求紧急护理。最终，这种情况可能被误认为是其他病理，更常见的是深静脉血栓，导致不适当的治疗。本研究的目的是描述一个自发性贝克氏囊肿破裂的病例系列，随访2年。方法：对16例有症状的腘窝囊肿急性破裂患者进行抗炎治疗和物理治疗。结果：所有患者经保守治疗平均1周，病情得到良好缓解，无囊肿破裂复发。结论：成人贝克囊肿自发性破裂可引起严重的症状和致残；然而，一旦确诊，它对保守治疗反应良好，很少复发。证据水平IV；系列。
