Case report 731. Complicated Baker's cyst.
The atypical appearance of a gas-containing, noninfected, popliteal synovial cyst has been presented. The case again demonstrates the value of plain radiographs, in this instance in distinguishing gas bubbles and calcification, which may not be apparent by MRI and ultrasound. The uniqueness of this case is stressed. The cause of the gas bubbles was not ascertained.
