ABSTRACT

Introduction: The popliteal or Baker cyst is a mass filled with fluid in a preexisting bursa. Popliteal cysts rarely manifest themselves alone in the adult population and more often they are combine with intraarticular or extraarticular pathologies that condition an inflammatory process. Objective: To report the case of a cyst in the popliteal region of a pediatric patient, describing its clinical, surgical and anatomopathological characteristics. Material and methods: This is a five years old male patient with progressively increases volume in the popliteal space of the left knee with one year of evolution. In this paper, we describe its clinical presentation, the protocol with which it was addressed for its study and surgical preparation. The surgical approach, resection and capsular repair are detailed. Results: Clinically, the patient has a good immediate, medium and late post-surgical evolution. The patient is referred asymptomatic, the walking without defensive attitude, not claudicating, full extension without pain, performs complete squats without discomfort. Conclusions: We can affirm based on the results obtained that the protocol performed, the planning of the surgery and the clinical-functional evolution, the surgical treatment is an excellent alternative for the management of symptomatic popliteal cysts in pediatric patients.
