[Hygroma of the popliteal region in children]
Abstract
The authors describe their experience in diagnosis and treatment of 267 children with hygroma of the infragenual region. The nature of the disease is still not clear with various factors such as injuries and inflammatory diseases affecting its development. Hygromas are treated surgically, recurrences occur in 8.8% of the cases. The causes of the recurrences are investigated and an operation in recurrent hygromas is proposed.
