The presence of a fibrovascular nodule called Cyclops at the level of anterior intercondylar space, is a finding widely described in the literature as a complication in patients with previous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL). However, at present, it has been described some patients with ACL injury and cyclops lesión but without surgical history, as in our case. Our patient had a history of direct trauma in his knee six months before medical consultaron, which could be linked to the pathogenesis of fibrous nodule formation. On physical examination, there was a limitation on the extensión of the knee and a well defined rounded neoformation, closed to the torn ACL corresponding to Cyclops syndrome was observed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
