📌 Synovial Low-Flow Vascular Malformation

 

  • Synovial low-flow vascular malformation (formerly hemangioma) is a benign vascular malformation that typically occurs in the knee of children and young adults. 
  • This condition is often associated with pain and spontaneous hemarthrosis, causing significant discomfort and potential mobility issues.

 

✅ Radiographic Characteristics

  • Radiographs of synovial low-flow vascular malformations may reveal calcified phleboliths. 
  • These calcified structures within the mass appear as intralesional T1 and T2 hypointensities and can be confirmed via radiography. 
  • On T2-weighted fat-suppressed images, the lesion is hyperintense with signal voids corresponding to abnormal vessels.

 

MRI Features

  • In MRI studies, synovial hemangiomas often show increased T2 signal intensity without a significant mass effect.
  •  Additional MRI features may include fibrofatty septa and muscular or fatty invasion. 
  • The administration of contrast material frequently demonstrates avid, rather homogeneous enhancement, which can help differentiate these malformations from cystic synovial hyperplasia.
