How is a Paralabral cyst of the hip treated?

Paralabral cyst around hip is reported to be a cause of compression of the major neurovascular structures. Although, arthroscopic cyst and labral debridement is generally accepted as the effective treatment, there is limited literature available regarding treatment options for paralabral cysts in the hip.

What causes a Paralabral cyst in the hip?

When there is a labral tear in the hip, the loss of stability between the femoral head and the acetabulum (socket of the hipbone) can cause synovial fluid through the acetabulum, resulting in a paralabral cyst.

Are Paralabral cysts common?

Acetabular paralabral cysts are common. They vary in their clinical presentation and may be asymptomatic or cause pain and restriction at the hip joint. In rare instances they may cause symptoms by compressing local neurovascular structures.

Do Paralabral cysts go away?

Conclusion: Labral repair leads to significant pain relief with cyst resolution within 2 to 3 months in most patients. Secondary muscle pathology (ie, edema, atrophy and fatty infiltration) may be partially or completely reversed.

Will a Paralabral cyst go away hip?

A recent small case series has shown effective treatment with arthroscopic decompression of the cyst and labral debridement at 2 years’ follow-up. In the hip we believe that paralabral cysts can be adequately treated arthroscopically with cyst decompression and labral repair.

Does a labral hip tear heal on its own?

A hip labral tear won’t heal on its own, but rest and other measures can help manage symptoms of a minor tear. Nonsurgical treatments include: Anti-inflammatory medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) can reduce inflammation.

Is a hip labral tear serious?

A tear in your labrum can cause pain and instability in your hip, damage other tissue and cartilage in your joint, and lead to osteoarthritis over time.

How do you get rid of a Paralabral cyst?

Treatment for paralabral cysts causing nerve compression involves arthroscopic repair of the labral tear, as well as decompression of the nerve and drainage of the cyst. Suprascapular nerve entrapment is a cause of shoulder pain and weakness.

How do you get a Paralabral cyst?

What is a paralabral cyst or ganglion cyst in the shoulder? Generally, any small fluid collection just outside the shoulder joint is a paralabral cyst. These cysts originate from labral tears in the shoulder. The labrum is a type of cartilage in the shoulder that encircles the socket to make the shoulder more stable.

Can you drain a Paralabral cyst?

Treatment for paralabral cysts causing nerve compression involves arthroscopic repair of the labral tear, as well as decompression of the nerve and drainage of the cyst.

What is a small Paralabral cyst?

Paralabral cysts are swellings that arise around the socket of the shoulder joint (glenoid). They are pockets of joint fluid that develop outside of the joint under tears of the labrum. The cysts can be diagnosed on an MRI scan, or MR Arthrogram. These may occur anywhere around the glenoid.
