We report a rare case of synovial cyst of the dens (odontoid process) in a 61 year old women with no previous history of trauma. She had progressive symptoms of 1 year's duration due to spinal cord compression. Magnetic resonance imaging of cervical spine revealed a large mass posterior to the dens which was compressing the spinal cord near the cervicomedullary junction. This lesion was at first considered radiologically to represent an exuberant pannus formation or a meningioma of the foramen magnum, but subsequent surgical intervention and pathological examination revealed that it was a synovial cyst. Similar cases reported in the literature are reviewed and discussed.
我们报告一例罕见的齿状突滑膜囊肿病例，患者为一名61岁女性，既往无创伤史。由于脊髓受压，她出现了持续1年的进行性症状。颈椎磁共振成像显示齿状突后方有一个大肿块，在颈髓交界处附近压迫脊髓。该病变最初在影像学上被认为是增生性血管翳形成或枕骨大孔脑膜瘤，但随后的手术干预和病理检查显示它是一个滑膜囊肿。对文献中报道的类似病例进行了回顾和讨论。
