1. To review the clinical settings in which gas may be found in the periarticular soft tissues, with particular emphasis on gas-containing periarticular cysts. 2. To describe the imaging findings of air within parameniscal and paralabral cysts and their association with meniscal and labral tears. 3. To emphasize the importance of recognition of air within periarticular cysts to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary additional workup.   

Objectives of Exhibit Introduction, including differential diagnosis for gas in periarticular soft tissues Illustrative Examples of gas-containing periarticular cysts (CT, MR)      - Shoulder      - Knee      - Hip Discussion Conclusions References
