This study aimed to describe a case of a patient with a lumbar ligamentum flavum cyst combined with spinal instability who underwent cyst resection and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
We present a rare case of a patient with a lumbar ligamentum flavum cyst combined with spinal instability causing radiculopathy. The patient underwent cyst resection and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
The patient underwent follow-up for 3 years postoperatively and remained asymptomatic, with favorable radiographic results.
Cysts resection and TLIF for ligamentum flavum cysts combined with spinal instability can achieve sufficient and effective decompression while simultaneously restoring spinal stability. Therefore, this approach is both an effective and safe treatment option.
本研究旨在描述一例腰椎黄韧带囊肿合并脊柱不稳患者接受囊肿切除及经椎间孔腰椎椎体间融合术(TLIF)的病例。
我们报告了一例罕见的腰椎黄韧带囊肿合并脊柱不稳导致神经根病的患者。该患者接受了囊肿切除及经椎间孔腰椎椎体间融合术。
患者术后随访3年,无症状,影像学结果良好。
对于腰椎黄韧带囊肿合并脊柱不稳,囊肿切除及TLIF可实现充分有效的减压,同时恢复脊柱稳定性。因此,该方法是一种有效且安全的治疗选择。
