| Popis: | A radiological differentiation was made between synovial rupture, giant cyst, and thrombophlebitis of the leg in 17 cases of calf pain. In Baker's cyst rupture, there was extravasation of contrast medium and/or air along soft-tissue planes, while an unruptured giant cyst was identified as a partially filled, sharply marginated, somewhat loculated collection. Rheumatoid arthritis was infrequent in these cases. A case of spontaneous rupture of a Baker's cyst without symptoms suggests that the chemical composition of the synovial fluid under pathological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis may be more important in causing symptoms than the physical rupture of the synovia. |
