Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare and mostly incidental findings in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or arthroscopy. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ganglion cyst in a child is an extremely rare finding, and to the best of our knowledge, only one case has been described in the literature. We report a case of a large intra-articular ganglion cyst of the knee arising from the PCL in an autistic child.
