Discal cyst of the lumbar spine: a case report and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discal cysts of the lumbar spine are rare degenerations in the corresponding discs and are located in the spinal canal but outside the endorhachis. Due to the small number of cases reported in the literature, discal cysts are always treated as lumbar disc hernias at the early stage. A definitive description of the treatment for discal cysts has not yet to be given. Here, we report a case of a lumbar discal cyst, which treated by endoscopic cyst resection. The discal cyst was confirmed by surgery and subsequent pathological diagnosis.
