Abstract

AIm: Synovial cysts are relatively common in the lumbar spine and very uncommon in the cervical spine. Several case reports and a few small series have been reported in the literature over the past four decades. There are two distinct cervical spine synovial cyst categories: atlantoaxial and the subaxial cervical spine. The surgical treatments are very different. Ma terIal and Methods: We report eleven patients undergoing transoral resection and posterior fusion for histologically confirmed symptomatic atlantoaxial synovial cysts. This represents a retrospective review over 18 years. The authors analyzed the literature of patients who underwent surgical treatment for symptomatic atlantoaxial synovial cysts. Results: There were four male and seven female patients with a mean age of 76 years (range 54-84 years). All patients presented with cervical myelopathy. Patients were neurologically assessed pre- and postoperatively and outcome reported using the Modified Rankin Outcome score. Mean follow-up period was 22 months (range 6-120 months). Ten of the eleven patients had improvement in their postoperative assessment and one patient remained unchanged. ConclusIon: Myelopathy is the presenting symptom in the vast majority of these patients. Surgical resection and decompression of the neural structures can be an effective treatment for symptomatic atlantoaxial synovial cysts.

Özet

AMAÇ: Lomber bölgede sinoviyal kistler sık görülse de servikal bölgede oldukça nadir görülür. Son kırk yıl içerisinde rapor edilmiş olan olgu sunumu ya da seri sunumu az sayıda olmuştur. Servikal bölgede görülen sinoviyal kistler iki ayrı kategoride incelenebilir, atlantoaksiyel ve subaksiyel olanlar. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Ağız yolundan girilerek çıkarılmış olan 11 servikal sinoviyal kist olgusu sunulmaktadır. Bu olguların tamamı histopatolojik olarak sinoviyal kist olarak tanı almış semptomatik olgulardır. Bu inceleme 18 yıllık geriye dönük bir taramadır. Yazarlar semptomatik atlantoaksiyal sinoviyal kist nedeni ile ameliyat edilen olguları da literatürden araştırdılar. BULGULAR: Toplam 11 hastanın 4’ü erkek, 7’si kadın ve ortalama yaş 76 olarak hesaplandı. (Yaş aralığı 54-84). Tüm hastaların temel bulgusu servikal miyelopatiydi. Tüm hastalar ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası değerlendirildi. Tüm bulgular Modifiye Rankin Sonuç ölçütlemesi ile hesaplandı. Hastalar ortalama 22 ay takip edildi (takip aralığı 6-120 ay). Hastalardan 10’u ameliyat öncesi döneme göre daha iyi, bir hastada ise değişiklik saptanmadı. SONUÇ: Miyelopati, servikal sinoviyal kisti olan hastaların çoğunun başvuru sebebidir. Semptomatik atlantoaksiyal sinoviyal kistlerin cerrahi çıkarımı ve sinir dokularının basınç altından kurtarılması etkin bir tedavi yöntemidir.
