title: Symptomatic intraarticular ganglia of the cruciate ligaments of the knee.
abstract: This case report draws attention to the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and recommended diagnostic modality and treatment of symptomatic ganglia of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. One patient presented with a recurrent inability to fully extend the left knee. Another patient presented with pain and soreness over the lateral aspect of the knee, including the lateral joint line. The diagnosis of ganglia of the cruciate ligaments was made after clinical, radiographic, and magnetic resonance examination. Both patients were treated successfully with resection of their ganglia using arthroscopic techniques.
