[Value of the scanner for diagnosing synovial cysts of the hip. Apropos of 2 cases. Review of the literature].
Two cases of synovial cysts of the hip have been observed by the authors. They were extending anteriorly and were developing from the psoas iliac muscle bursa. After a review of the literature it is concluded that this is a rare condition, and that CT scan made the diagnosis much easier. In one case the cyst complicated a rheumatoid arthritis, in the other the origin was not clear. The clinical features and differential diagnoses are recalled.
