Lumbar discal cyst as a cause of radiculopathy: case report

Newton Cho et al. Br J Neurosurg. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Lumbar discal cysts are rare entities causing radicular pain with unknown etiologies. We report a case of a 42-year-old man who developed radiculopathy secondary to a lumbar discal cyst. Our case sheds some light on anatomy, possible etiological association and clinical course which can help management.

Keywords: cyst; lumbar; lumbar disc; treatment.
