[Ganglion cyst of the cervical spine causing radiculopathy].
A case of ganglion cyst of the cervical spine causing radiculopathy is presented. This epidural mass is rare at the cervical level. Computed tomography suggests the diagnosis by the postero-lateral position of the mass close to facet joint. The trilobed configuration and the tissue characterisation of the cyst are well documented on MRI.
