Magnetic resonance appearance of tuberculosis of the knee joint with ruptured Baker's cyst

A Kulshrestha et al. Australas Radiol. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

After the spine, the knee joint is the most commonly affected joint in skeletal tuberculosis. Baker's cyst is a rather rare complication of knee joint tuberculosis. The plain radiographic appearance of the tuberculous knee joint has been amply described. We present the magnetic resonance appearance of a tuberculous knee joint associated with a ruptured popliteal cyst.
