Intraspinal synovial cysts of vertebral facet joints are uncommon cause of radicular pain as well as neurological deficits. They can be managed both conservatively and surgically. <\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>Case report. A 77-year old polymorbid patient presented with bilateral low back pain which worsened during the course of time and did not respond to the conservative treatment. A diagnosis of intraspinal synovial cyst was made using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Percutaneous computed tomography (CT) guided injection with installation of local anesthetic together with corticosteroid and rupture of the cyst was successfully used. A month after the procedure his pain improved, the usage of analgesics diminished and his over-all quality of life improved. <\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>Conclusions. Percutaneous CT guided lumbar synovial cyst treatment is safe and reliable alternative to the surgical treatment in polymorbid patients with radiculopathy who are not able to tolerate general anesthesia and operation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/raon-2013-0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,15]],"date-time":"2013-04-15T16:22:08Z","timestamp":1366042928000},"page":"35-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Minimally invasive CT guided treatment of intraspinal synovial cyst"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Sergeja","family":"Kozar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miran","family":"Jeromel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref211","first-page":"600","article-title":"UM guided destruction versus microsurgical resection of lumbar juxtafacet cysts","volume":"11","author":"Schulz","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref81","first-page":"101","article-title":"Martha Outcome of percutaneous rupture of lumbar synovial cysts : a case series of patients","author":"Swaim","year":"2009","journal-title":"Spine J"},{"key":"ref101","first-page":"600","article-title":"UM guided destruction versus microsurgical resection of lumbar juxtafacet cysts","volume":"11","author":"Schulz","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref171","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1526-4637.2005.05021.x","article-title":"Percutaneous puncture of zygapophysial joint synovial cyst with fluoroscopic guidance","volume":"7","author":"Melfi","year":"2005","journal-title":"Pain Medicine"},{"key":"ref151","first-page":"110","article-title":"cysts of the lumbar facet joints : a retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study investigating their relation with degenerative spondylolisthesis Medical Report","author":"Alicioglu","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref31","first-page":"89","article-title":"Mitra Long -
