Abstract:
Synovial and/or ganglionic cysts of the lumbar spine usually present with complaints of radicular pain. Less often, larger cysts are also associated with complaints of ambulatory-associated “weakness”. Such was the case of a 60-year-old male initially clinically suspected of having lumbar spinal stenosis. The etiopathogenesis of large ganglion cysts is reviewed with reference to symptoms, clinical signs and pathogenesis.
