Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common neurosurgical procedure, and the benefits, long-term outcomes, and complications are well described in the literature. The development of a juxtafacet joint cyst resulting in radiculopathy is a rare outcome after ACDF and merits further description. The authors describe a patient in whom a juxtafacet joint cyst developed after ACDF procedures, resulting in surgical intervention. When a juxtafacet joint cyst develops after ACDF, symptoms can include radiculopathy, neck pain, and neurological symptoms such as paresthesias and motor weakness. The presence of a juxtafacet joint cyst implies instability in that region of the spine. Patients with this pathological entity may require decompression of neural elements and fusion across the segment involved with the cyst.
颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术（ACDF）是一种常见的神经外科手术，其益处、长期结果和并发症在文献中已有详细描述。在 ACDF 后出现关节突关节囊肿导致神经根病是一种罕见的结果，值得进一步描述。作者描述了一例 ACDF 后出现关节突关节囊肿并导致手术干预的患者。当 ACDF 后出现关节突关节囊肿时，症状可包括神经根病、颈部疼痛和神经症状，如感觉异常和运动无力。关节突关节囊肿的存在意味着该脊柱区域不稳定。患有这种病理实体的患者可能需要对受累节段的神经进行减压和融合。
