  Popliteal synovial cysts, also known as Baker’s cysts, are common in adults and children. They present as swelling in the popliteal fossa due to enlargement of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa, which lies between these two muscles on the medial side of the fossa, slightly distal to the center crease in the back of the knee. […] Popliteal cysts in adults are often associated with osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint disease, or joint injury. They usually communicate with the adjacent knee joint space, especially in older patients with knee pathology; communicating cysts contain synovial fluid. […] In children, popliteal cysts are usually a primary process, arising directly from the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa; they do not communicate with the joint space. […] The epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of popliteal cyst will be presented here. […] Initial therapy for symptomatic cysts includes treating the underlying joint disease, intraarticular injection, and treatment of cyst complications. […] Cysts requiring additional treatment include confirming the diagnosis, popliteal cyst aspiration and injection, and surgery.

[…] This activity reviews the presentation, complications, and management of Baker’s cysts and stresses the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with Baker’s cysts. […] Employ interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to enhance outcomes for patients affected by Baker’s cysts. […] Treatment is not usually necessary for a Baker’s Cyst unless the patient is symptomatic. […] It is important to treat the underlying joint disorder, if one exists, in all patients with symptomatic Baker’s cysts. This will help reduce the accumulation of synovial fluid and enlargement of the cyst. […] Baker cyst is often seen by the primary care provider, internist and nurse practitioner. It is important to get an ultrasound to ensure that there is no other pathology. If the patient is symptomatic, he or she should be referred to an orthopedic surgeon. The majority of patients require no treatment. Various treatments do exist for symptomatic patients but with all of them, recurrence is a possibility. The outcomes are good in most patients as the disorder is benign.

  Swelling on the back of one knee may be a Baker cyst. This can form when joint-lubricating fluid fills a cushioning pouch (bursa) at the back of the knee. […] A Baker cyst is usually the result of a problem with the knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause the knee to produce too much fluid. […] Although a Baker cyst may cause swelling and discomfort, treating the underlying problem that is causing it usually provides relief. […] Seek medical attention if you have pain and swelling behind your knee. Though unlikely, these symptoms may be a sign of a blood clot in a leg vein. […] Rarely, a Baker cyst bursts and synovial fluid leaks into the calf region, causing sharp pain in the knee, swelling in the calf, and sometimes, redness of the calf or a feeling of water running down the calf.
