Bilateral symptomatic intraspinal T12-L1 synovial cysts.

R N Holtzman, R Dubin, W C Yang

    Surgical Neurology
    |September 1, 1987

    Summary

    Surgical decompression for spinal stenosis and synovial cysts effectively relieved a 72-year-old man's severe lumbar pain, sciatica, and neurological deficits. This intervention reversed debilitating symptoms, restoring function and quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spinal stenosis and synovial cysts can cause severe neurological deficits.
    • Symptomatic spinal cord compression requires timely diagnosis and intervention.

    Observation:

    • A 72-year-old male presented with progressive lumbar pain, sciatica, lower extremity weakness, sensory deficits, and urinary incontinence.
    • Imaging revealed high-grade spinal canal blocks at T12-L1 (synovial cysts) and L4-L5 (spinal stenosis).

    Findings:

    • Surgical decompression via laminectomy and cyst excision at T12-L1 and L4-L5.
    • Complete resolution of the patient's presenting symptoms post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • Surgical decompression is an effective treatment for complex spinal stenosis and synovial cysts.
