Abstract
Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare. Percutaneous asp iration of ganglion cysts of the knee, which has both diagnostic and therap eutic value, has been described, but usually under guidance by computed tom ography (CT). We describe ultrasound-guided aspiration of posterior cruciat e ligament cysts in two patients.
