Paralabral Cyst of the Hip
Paralabral cysts of the hip joint are a specific subcategory of paralabral cysts. These cysts are typically associated with an acetabular labral tear which can sometimes be missed on a non-arthrographic MRI. Typically these cysts are made up of synovial fluid. The cyst is a benign soft tissue. Not all labral tears have a paralabral cyst however when a patient has a paralabral cyst there is a 50-70% chance that they have a labrum tear. Most of the cysts are located anterosuperiorly which can lead to anterior hip pain, a limited range of motion with pain in flexion, and a snapping feeling across the femoracetabular (hip) joint. The best long term solution is to arthoscopically remove the cyst and then repair the labrum if necessary. [1] Radiography is not helpful to get a good picture of the cyst. An MRI can get a good image of the cyst typically but will not show the tear unless it is an MR arthrography.[2]
