Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Synovial cysts are rare causes of lumbar spine pathology.
  • Interapophyseal joint cysts can lead to significant neurological symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of low back pain and sciatica was attributed to a lumbar synovial cyst.
  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were crucial for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Lumbar synovial cysts are uncommon lesions.
  • Radical surgical excision, preferably with microsurgical techniques, is the treatment of choice.

Implications:

  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is essential for successful surgical outcomes.
  • Microsurgery offers an effective approach for removing lumbar synovial cysts.
  • Understanding the rarity and presentation of these cysts aids clinical management.
