PCL Mucoid Degeneration-MRI
We present a case of mucoid degeneration of the
posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in a 50 year old who complained of knee joint
pain on flexion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a diffusely thickened
PCL with increased signal intensity on the T1 weighted sequence. A few intact
fibers were observed with continuous margin from origin to insertion. Contour
of the ligament is maintained. MRI of mucoid degeneration of the cruciate ligament
can be mistaken for those of partial tear of the ligament.
