A 68-year-old female had a three-week history of severe low back pain radiating down the posterior left buttocks and left leg exacerbated by standing and walking. Lumbar spine MRI revealed cystic mass with similar intensity to cerebrospinal fluid located on dorsolateral left side of the sacral spinal canal inferior to the S1 pedicle.

متن کاملThoracic Synovial Cyst at the Th2-3 Level Causing Myelopathy
Intraspinal synovial cyst is a rare cause of myelopathy. These cysts present most often in the lumbar and cervical parts of the spine but are more infrequent in the thoracic spine. We present a case of a 73-year-old man with an intraspinal, extradural synovial cyst at the Th2-3 level causing paraesthesia and weakness in the legs. A laminectomy and excision of the cyst were performed and the pat...

spine and less commonly found in the cervical spine (1). An occurrence of a cyst in the thoracic spine causing myelopathy is extremely rare (2) and to the best of our knowledge, 25 cases of thoracic synovial cyst have been reported in the English language clinical literature and of these cases, only seven cases have been reported where a synovial cyst was combined with myelopathy.
