            [0] => Introduction:
During their evolution, bone tunnels created during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction undergo more or less significant morphological changes, with encystment being a rare complication. Through a rare case of tibial tunnel encystment, we will try to elucidate the causes of this complication and its clinical and anatomical consequences.

Case report:
This case is about a 45-year-old patient who underwent ACL reconstruction two and a half years ago and presented with mechanical knee pain. On examination, palpation of the internal joint space was painful, and knee mobility was 6-120°. X-rays showed a bone defect with peripheral condensation along the path of the tibial tunnel, which had widened by 138.89% with an encysted appearance.

Discussion and conclusion:
Encystment of the tunnel after ACL reconstruction is a rare phenomenon and sparsely described in the literature (8 reported cases). Its etiology is unclear. Theories include necrosis, inflammatory reaction to a foreign body, lack of graft Osseointegration, and extravasation of joint fluid into the tunnel. MRI is the key exploration for establishing a positive diagnosis by showing tunnel widening and the formation of a unilocular or multilocular cyst. It also helps differentiate it from infection or foreign body granuloma. Encystment can pose a problem of bone substance loss in case of ACL reconstruction revision.
