Spinal synovial cysts are rare in the cervical spine where they may cause myeloradiculopathy. Contrast MR studies help differentiate these from other lesions. The optimal treatment is often surgical removal.
A 47-year-old male presented with axial neck pain, numbness, and left-hand paresthesia. When the MR study showed dorsolateral cord compression due to a left-sided C1-C2 facet cyst, he underwent a unilateral decompression/fusion. Adequate cyst removal/excision was documented on a postoperative MR performed 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively.
A 47-year-old male presented with myelopathy attributed to an MR-documented dorsolateral C1/ C2 facet cyst. Following excision/decompression of the cyst and posterior fusion, the patient's symptoms/signs resolved.
脊柱滑膜囊肿在颈椎中较为罕见,可导致脊髓神经根病。对比增强磁共振成像研究有助于将其与其他病变区分开来。最佳治疗方法通常是手术切除。
一名47岁男性出现颈部轴性疼痛、麻木和左手感觉异常。磁共振成像研究显示左侧C1-C2关节突囊肿导致背外侧脊髓受压,遂接受了单侧减压/融合手术。术后2周和3个月进行的磁共振成像检查记录了囊肿的充分切除情况。
一名47岁男性因磁共振成像记录的背外侧C1/C2关节突囊肿出现脊髓病。在囊肿切除/减压及后路融合术后,患者的症状和体征消失。
