Objective To evaluate the efficacy of color ultrasound-guided interventional treatment for popliteal cyst. Methods Under the guidance of color ultrasonography,the cyst was punctured and the fluid was drew out.After repeated irrigation of the cyst cavity with normal saline,the absolute alcohol was injected and indwelled for about 5 min.The absolute alcohol injection was repeated for 2~3 times.Results Out of 23 cases,22 cases were cured on single procedure and 1 case was cured after the second treatment.Follow-up for 6 months in all the cases found no recurrence.Conclusions Interventional treatment for popliteal cyst under color ultrasonic guidance is simple,minimally invasive,safe,effective,and repeatable.
