Abstract

Ganglion cysts represent a rare pathology mostly encountered in the lumbar region of the spinal column. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a ganglion cyst at the L4.5 level in a 46-year-old woman who had a complaint of long-standing pain in her right leg. The cyst was com¬pletely excised following total laminectomy at L4. After surgery, her symptoms and neurological signs completely disappeared

Özet

Ganglion kisti sık rastlanmayan, daha çok spinal kolonun lomber bölgesinde ortaya çıkan bir patolojidir. Sağ bacak ağrısı şikayetiyle başvuran 46 yaşındaki kadın hastada yapılan manyetik rezonans görüntüleme sonucunda L4.5 lomber ganglion kisti tanısı kondu. L4 total laminektomi yapıldıktan sonra kistik kitle tümüyle eksize edildi. Semptomlar ve nörolojik bulgular ameliyat sonrasında düzelme gösterdi.
