Role Of MRS To Characterise Popliteal Cystic Lesion In A Known Case Of Nf1
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
There are multiple differential diagnoses for cystic lesions around the knee. While USG and conventional MRI are sufficient for diagnosis, there are situations where a diagnostic dilemma can occur. We present a case of a cystic popliteal lesion in a child with neurofibromatosis 1. With clinical symptoms of mild pain and swelling, the differentials of neurofibroma and abscess were considered. We demonstrate the usefulness of MR spectroscopy in diagnosing the lesion as an abscess, rather than a neurofibroma with cystic degeneration.
