Answers: What is a Baker cyst?
A Baker cyst, also called a popliteal cyst, is swelling caused by knees joint fluid protruding to the back of the knees (popliteal area of the knee). When an excess of knee shared fluid is compressed by the body weight between the bones of the knee amalgamated, it can become trapped and separate from the joint to form a fluid-filled sac, referred to as a Baker cyst. The name of the cyst is surrounded by memory of the physician who originally described the condition, the British surgeon William Morrant Baker (1839-1896).
What causes a Baker cyst?
Baker cysts are not uncommon and can be cause by virtually any cause of joint swelling (arthritis). The most adjectives form of arthritis associated with Baker cysts is osteoarthritis, also called degenerative arthritis. Baker cysts also can result from cartilage tears (such as a torn meniscus), rheumatoid arthritis, and other knees problems.
What are symptoms of a Baker cyst?
A Baker cyst may cause no symptoms or be associated with knees pain and/or tightness behind the knees, especially when the knee is extended or fully flexed. Baker cysts are usually visible as a bulge at the back the knee which is particularly distinct on standing and comparing to the opposite uninvolved knee. They are mostly soft and minimally tender.
Baker cysts can become complicated by protrusion of fluid down the leg between the muscles of the calf (dissection). The cyst can rupture, leaking fluid down the inner leg to sometimes give the inner ankle the appearance of a painless bruise. Baker cyst dissection and rupture are frequently associated beside swelling of the leg and can mimic phlebitis of the leg.
