Haemorrhagic lumbar synovial cyst.
Hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cysts are not commonly reported in English literature. Post-resection recurrence of synovial cyst is unusual and therefore recurrence symptoms required repeat MRI or CT scan. We reported a case of hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cyst presented with neurological deficit that recovered initially after surgery but subsequently developed recurrent of symptoms at a higher level due to fibrous tissue.
