Intraspinal synovial cyst simulating spinal stenosis. A case report

J A Baum et al. Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Intraspinal synovial cysts are an unusual cause of lumbar nerve root compression. This case report describes one mimicking spinal stenosis. A differential diagnosis of other intraspinal cysts is discussed. When symptomatic, surgical excision of these cysts should provide good relief with minimal morbidity.
