Spinal canal cysts are benign lesions and grow slowly. The clinical manifestations are similar to lumbar disc herniation. The main symptoms are pain in the thoracolumbar and sacral region, decreased perineal sensation, laborious urination, limb weakness, and numbness.
The cyst is an expansive lesion. The plain spine x-ray shows that the spinal canal is enlarged, the pedicle is thinned, and the intervertebral space is widened. Magnetic resonance imaging can help confirm the diagnosis.
Generally speaking, spinal canal cysts with insignificant symptoms can be observed first and left untreated. Have obvious symptoms of spinal cord compression (such as low back and leg pain, intermittent claudication, lower limb muscle strength and sensation, pain or sensation in the perineum, dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, etc.). Those who have failed conservative treatment can choose surgery. .
