Removal of discal cyst using percutaneous full endoscopic via interlaminar route: a case report

Abstract Background Discal cyst, a rare disease with unclear pathogenesis, exhibits symptoms similar to lumbar disk herniation. Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment for this condition. Case presentation This report presents clinical efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar approach surgery technique in patients diagnosed 4–5 discal cyst. The patient exhibited sub-acute radiculopathy left leg accompanied by weakness extensor hallucis longus. Magnetic resonance imaging spine confirmed presence cysts, which exerted compression traversing nerve root. Surgical involved performing without additional discectomy under general anesthesia. were immediately alleviated following removal and toe improved day after surgery.
