Spontaneous Resolution of Symptomatic Synovial Cysts of the Lumbar Spine: A Comprehensive Review with Two Illustrative Cases (2024)
Journal Article
Scrofani, R., De Simone, M., Migliorini, F., Amoroso, E., Maffulli, N., Narciso, N., & Iaconetta, G. (in press). Spontaneous Resolution of Symptomatic Synovial Cysts of the Lumbar Spine: A Comprehensive Review with Two Illustrative Cases. Medicina, 60(7), Article 1115. https://doi.org/10.3390/medicina60071115

Although lumbar synovial cysts (LSCs) are frequently described in the literature, they are a relatively uncommon cause of low back and radicular leg pain. Furthermore, their spontaneous resolution is an even rarer event. The standard treatment of the...
