Abstract

Synovial cysts are lesions arising from the degenerated facet joints and are lined by epithelium . They may cause radiculopathy through nerve root compression or may enlarge towards the vertebral canal causing myelopathy. When involved, the lumbar spine is the most commonly aff ected site, whereas the cervical spine is the next most common location. Thoracic synovial cyst and especially calcifi ed ones causing myelopathy has been rarely reported. In this manuscript we report the surgical management of a calcifi ed thoracic synovial cyst that caused myelopathy in a 58 years old woman. The importance of diagnosis and surgical management of this rare entity is discussed. Synovial cysts should be considered in the diff erential diagnosis of thoracic cord compression. Surgical treatment should be considered as the initial treatment modality especially in patients with neurological signs and is associated with favorable outcome

Özet

Sinoviyal kistler dejenere olmuş faset eklemlerden kaynaklanan epitel doku ile kaplı oluşumlardır. Spinal kök basısına bağlı radikülopatiye yol açtıkları gibi vertebral kanala doğru büyüyerek miyelopatiye de neden olabilirler. Lomber omurga en sık etkilenen bölgedir ve servikal bölge de en sık kaynaklandıkları ikinci yerdir. Torakal sinovial kistlere ve özellikle miyelopatiye yol açmış kalsifiye olanlarına çok nadiren rastlanır. Bu yazıda 58 yaşında bir kadın hastada myelopatiye neden olmuş bir torakal kalsifiye sinoviyal kistin cerrahi tedavisi sunulmaktadır. Bu nadir lezyonun teşhis ve cerrahi tedavisinin önemi tartışılmaktadır. Sinovial kistlerin torakal omurilik basısı ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır. Özellikle nörolojik bulgu ile başvuran hastalarda cerrahi tedavi iyi klinik sonuçlarla beraberdir ve ilk planda düşünülmelidir
