A patient experienced chronic low back pain due to a 1.1-cm intervertebral disk cyst. Treatment involved computed tomography-guided aspiration and steroid injections, leading to complete resolution of the cyst.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal imaging and intervention.

Background:

  • Chronic low back pain is a common ailment.
  • Intervertebral disk cysts are rare causes of spinal pain.

Observation:

  • A 1.1-cm cystic lesion was identified posterior to the L4-L5 intervertebral disk.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography-guided aspiration successfully drained the cyst.
  • Steroid injections complemented the aspiration procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a minimally invasive approach for intervertebral disk cyst management.
  • Successful treatment led to complete resolution of symptoms and the lesion.
