Synovial cyst of a lumbar facet joint: a rare cause of back pain and sciatica. Report of two cases

R A Marston et al. Eur Spine J. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Intraspinal synovial cysts, sometimes referred to as ganglion cysts, are uncommon lesions which may present as acute or chronic low back pain, with or without radicular symptoms. We present two patients who presented with back pain and radicular symptoms attributable to the unusual pathology of an intraspinal synovial cyst.
