They generally present with a slow development of symptoms resulting from spinal canal involvement. Intracyst hemorrhagic synovial cysts are extremely uncommon and can manifest as radicular pain, radiculopathy or even cauda equina compression syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 71-year-old woman with acute back and radicular leg pain presented with worsening symptoms after receiving 1 week of therapy to the left lower limb without trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a hemorrhagic synovial intracyst at L2-L3 on the front of the left inter-facet joint which was identified as the cause of the acute back pain and radiculopathy which required surgical removal. Post-surgery, the patient followed the rehabilitation program instructions and attended all scheduled follow-up visits. The patient was asymptomatic at the one-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Synovial cysts are commonly associated with degenerative changes that occur with aging, although the specific cause is unknown. Surgical removal of an upper lumbar synovial cyst gives better results than non-surgical treatments if the symptoms persist or recurrent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For recurrent symptomatic upper lumbar spine synovial cysts (L2\u2212L3), surgery is usually the best option.
