• #1 Baker’s (popliteal) cyst: Treatments, symptoms, and causes

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/184714

  A Bakers cyst (or Baker cyst), also known as a popliteal cyst, is a swelling in the popliteal space, which is the space behind the knee. It causes stiffness and knee pain. […] The pain caused by the cyst typically worsens if the patient fully flexes or extends the knee, or moves around. […] Symptoms of a Bakers cyst include joint locking, knee, and calf pain. […] Symptoms include pain and stiffness as well as popping, clicking, creaking, or locking in the knee joint. […] Some patients may have no pain and may not even notice the cyst is there. However, the signs and symptoms of a Bakers cyst can include: swelling or lump behind the knee that is more evident when standing and comparing one knee to the other. It may feel like a water-filled balloon, knee pain, calf pain, accumulation of fluid around the knee, clicking, locking, or buckling of the knee joint.

  A Baker’s cyst, also called a popliteal cyst, is a fluid-filled swelling that develops at the back of the knee. […] The swelling and inflammation can cause: pain in the knee and calf, a build-up of fluid around the knee, occasional locking or clicking in the knee joint. […] However, sometimes a Baker’s cyst may not cause any symptoms other than the fluid-filled swelling at the back of the knee. […] A Baker’s cyst can sometimes burst (rupture), resulting in fluid leaking down into your calf. This can cause sharp pain, swelling and redness in your calf, but redness can be harder to see on brown and black skin.

  https://www.knieschmerzen-wien.at/bakers-cyst-en.html

  The symptoms of a Baker’s cyst depend on the size of the cyst and the load on the knee joint. Large cysts are usually easily palpable in the back of the knee. Baker’s cysts can cause a pressure-sensitive swelling, a feeling of tension and pain in the back of the knee. […] If the knee joint is subjected to increased stress, the production of synovial fluid usually causes the Baker’s cyst to enlarge and the symptoms to increase. After rest, the symptoms usually decrease or disappear completely. Pressure from the Baker’s cyst on nearby nerves or vessels can cause numbness or circulatory problems in the affected leg. Very large Baker’s cysts can lead to restricted movement in the knee joint. If a Baker’s cyst bursts, there may be sudden severe pain in the knee joint and subsequently inflammatory reactions in the knee and lower leg.

• #1 A Patient’s Guide to Popliteal Cysts (Baker’s Cyst) – Singapore Sports And Orthopaedic Clinic

  https://www.orthopaedicclinic.com.sg/knee/a-patients-guide-to-popliteal-cysts/

  The symptoms caused by a popliteal cyst are usually mild. You may have aching or tenderness with exercise or your knee may feel unsteady, as though it’s going to give out. You may feel pain from the underlying cause of the cyst, such as arthritis, an injury, or a mechanical problem with the knee, for instance a tear in the meniscus. Along with these symptoms, you may also see or feel a bulge on the back of your knee. Anything that causes the knee to swell and more fluid to fill the joint can make the cyst larger. It is common for a popliteal cyst to swell and shrink over time. […] Sometimes a cyst will suddenly burst underneath the skin, causing pain and swelling in the calf. A ruptured popliteal cyst gives symptoms just like those of a blood clot in the leg, called thrombophlebitis. For this reason, it is important to determine right away the cause of the pain and swelling in the calf. Once the cyst ruptures, the fluid inside the cyst simply leaks into the calf and is absorbed by the body. In this case, you will no longer be able to see or feel the cyst. However, the cyst will probably return in a short time.

  A Baker’s cyst may occur as a result of an injury to the knee, such as a tear in a meniscus, or damage to the cartilage from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. […] A Baker’s cyst is often found incidentally during a physical exam or an ultrasound performed for other reasons. It may cause no symptoms at all or just a bulge at the back of the knee, but it can also cause pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. Sometimes the bulge is so large that it’s hard to fully bend or straighten the leg. […] But occasionally they burst, and if that happens, synovial fluid can leak into the calf below, causing pain, swelling, and reddening. These symptoms resemble those produced by a blood clot in the calf, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious condition that requires immediate treatment.

  A Baker’s cyst may cause no symptoms or be associated with knee pain and/or tightness, and stiffness behind the knee, especially when the knee is extended or fully flexed. Baker’s cysts are usually visible as a bulge behind the knee that is particularly noticeable on standing and when compared to the opposite uninvolved knee. They are generally soft and minimally tender. Sometimes there can be a mild decrease in the range of motion of the knee. […] Baker’s cysts can become complicated by the spread of fluid down the leg between the muscles of the calf (dissection). The cyst can rupture, leaking fluid down the inner leg to sometimes cause the appearance of a painless bruise under the inner ankle. Baker’s cyst dissection and rupture are frequently associated with swelling of the leg and can mimic phlebitis of the leg. A ruptured Baker’s cyst typically causes rapid-onset swelling of the leg with bruising around the ankle. […] Depending on the cause of Baker’s cyst, the outlook is generally very good. Baker’s cysts caused by chronic arthritis can be prone to recur in the long term.

  A Bakers Cyst may rupture if, due to rapid accumulation of fluid, pressure within the sac becomes too high. When the fluid is released into the surrounding tissues, it may result in inflammation that may then elicit symptoms similar to those that would be experienced with thrombophlebitis in the calf. Symptoms may include sharp pain in the knee and calf, swelling or erythema of the calf, and a sensation that feels like water running down the calf. […] Cyst rupture also may lead to additional complications and associated symptoms. These can include (1) entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve (eg., posterior plantar numbness and calf pain), (2) occlusion of the popliteal artery (e.g., lower extremity edema), and (3) anterior (e.g. foot drop and edema of the anterolateral leg) or posterior (e.g. plantar dysesthesia, weakness of toes, swelling of the calf, and pain worse with passive toe extension) compartment syndrome.

  A Bakers Cyst may rupture if, due to rapid accumulation of fluid, pressure within the sac becomes too high. When the fluid is released into the surrounding tissues, it may result in inflammation that may then elicit symptoms similar to those that would be experienced with thrombophlebitis in the calf. Symptoms may include sharp pain in the knee and calf, swelling or erythema of the calf, and a sensation that feels like water running down the calf. […] Cyst rupture also may lead to additional complications and associated symptoms. These can include (1) entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve (eg., posterior plantar numbness and calf pain), (2) occlusion of the popliteal artery (e.g., lower extremity edema), and (3) anterior (e.g. foot drop and edema of the anterolateral leg) or posterior (e.g. plantar dysesthesia, weakness of toes, swelling of the calf, and pain worse with passive toe extension) compartment syndrome.

  Popliteal synovial cysts, also known as Bakers cysts, are commonly found in association with intra-articular knee disorders, such as osteoarthritis and meniscus tears. They can be a source of posterior knee pain that persists despite surgical treatment of the intra-articular lesion. […] Symptoms related to a popliteal cyst origin are infrequent and may be related to size. Symptoms related to the cysts include posterior or posteromedial fullness and achiness, mass, and stiffness. Bryan et al reported on the common symptoms in 38 patients with a Bakers cyst. The most common symptoms were popliteal swelling (76%) and posterior aching (32%). Patients may also complain of pain that occurs with terminal knee extension. Functionally, they may develop loss of knee flexion from cysts that are so large that they mechanically block flexion. […] Patients may exhibit signs or symptoms of thrombophlebitis, such as calf pain or swelling and a positive Homan sign—a finding known as pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome. This condition is most commonly seen with large, dissected, or ruptured popliteal cysts.

  If the fluid continues to build up, the cyst can get so big that it reaches as far as the thigh or calf. That is rare, though. […] If the cause of the Bakers cyst is treated and that reduces the production of synovial fluid, the cyst will go away. But Bakers cysts can last for years if the underlying condition is not successfully treated. […] Sometimes, a Bakers cyst bursts (ruptures). When this happens, the fluid leaks out and spreads through the surrounding tissue, like the calf muscles. This usually causes sudden, severe pain in the knee and calf. Bruising is also possible. After that, the fluid is gradually absorbed by the body. The tissue may become inflamed when a Bakers cyst bursts. So its a good idea to consult a doctor. […] If the cyst puts pressure on blood vessels, fluid can build up (edema) and cause swelling in the calf. If it puts pressure on nerves, your calf muscles might go numb or feel weak.
