[Asynchronous lumbar synovial cysts after surgical resection: a case report].
Lumbar synovial cysts represent a rare condition, they are believed to arise from defects of the joint capsule due to degeneration, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis or spondylosis. The symptom spectrum ranges from neural claudication to neurological deficits. We report the case of a contralateral asynchronous facet joint cyst after surgical resection and review the literature.
