Discal cysts are rare lesions that can cause radiating leg pain. Because they are very rare, their natural history and the details of the therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of these cysts are still unknown. A 30-year-old male patient presented to our institute with radiating pain in his left leg and mild back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intraspinal extradural cystic mass with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images at the L5-S1 level. The partial hemilaminectomy and cyst resection were performed. We report a patient with low back pain and radiating leg pain caused by a lumbar discal cyst and discuss the treatment of this cyst.
椎间盘囊肿是一种罕见的病变,可引起腿部放射性疼痛。由于它们非常罕见,其自然病史以及这些囊肿的治疗指南细节仍不明确。一名30岁男性患者因左腿放射性疼痛和轻度背痛前来我院就诊。磁共振成像(MRI)显示在L5-S1水平有一个椎管内硬膜外囊性肿块,在T1加权图像上呈低信号强度,在T2加权图像上呈高信号强度。进行了部分半椎板切除术和囊肿切除术。我们报告了一例由腰椎间盘囊肿引起的腰痛和腿部放射性疼痛的患者,并讨论了该囊肿的治疗方法。
