Bakers cysts

Posted By A Carlson on October 05, 1998 at 08:36:42:







Dear DRs.,
     My one year old son has been diagnosed through xray and sonogram as having a bakers or popatile cyst behind his knee.  The physician said that we could either leave it alone and it may go away by itself, or we could have it drained.  Are there any reprocussions to leaving it alone?  What would be our best course of action?  We do not want to cause our son any unnecessary pain, but want to do what is best for him.  Thank you for your time.
