ÖZET
Baker kisti, popliteal fossanın sinoviyal kistidir. Baker kistinin erken
teşhis edilmesi gereken ve sekonder problemlere neden olabilecek önemli
bir komplikasyonu Baker kisti rüptürüdür. Kist rüptüre olur ve baldıra yayılırsa
şişlik, eritem, ekimoz, distal ödem ve pozitif Homans bulgusu oluşabilir.
Baker kistinin rüptürü tromboflebit veya derin ven trombozunu taklit
edebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, şiddetli baldır ağrısı ve baldırda masif ekimoz
ile başvuran bir hastada saptanan Baker kistinin rüptürü sunulmuştur.
Baldırda yaygın ekimoz olan bir hastada daha önce Baker kisti tanısı almamış
olsa bile Baker kistinin rüptüre olabileceği ve kistin yırtılmasının acil
müdahale gerektiren kompartman sendromu gibi komplikasyonlara yol açabileceği
akılda tutulmalıdır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Olgu sunumu; popliteal kist; ağrı; baldır; ekimoz
ABSTRACT
Baker’s cyst is a synovial cyst of the popliteal fossa. Baker’s
cyst rupture is a complication of Baker’s cyst that should be diagnosed early
and problems that may occur secondary to this complication should be prevented.
If the cyst ruptures and extends into the calf, swelling, erythema,
ecchymosis, distal edema, and a positive Homans sign may occur. Baker’s
cyst rupture may mimic thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis. In this
case report, the rupture of Baker’s cyst, which was detected in a patient who
presented with severe calf pain and massive ecchymosis on the calf, is presented.
When a patient has extensive ecchymosis on the calf, it should be
kept in mind that even though he or she has not previously been diagnosed
with a Baker’s cyst, the Baker’s cyst may have ruptured and ruptured cyst
may lead to complications such as compartment syndrome that require immediate
intervention.
