Acute development of spinal lumbar synovial facet cyst within 1 week after lumbar decompression: illustrative case

Abstract: BACKGROUND Synovial facet cysts can sometimes develop in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis after decompressive laminectomy. The etiology of spinal lumbar synovial cysts is still unclear, but their formation is associated with underlying spinal instability, facet joint arthropathy, and degenerative spondylolisthesis. OBSERVATIONS A 61-year-old-male patient presented with neurogenic claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis. Radiographic studies showed grade I spondylolisthesis and radiological predictors … Show more

“…The “rail technique” was described by Theologis and Gupta et al 2 in 2020 for closing three-column osteotomy (3CO) and more recently by Sarmiento et al 3 for a construct-to-construct biplanar cantilever technique for kyphoscoliosis correction. Closing of a 3CO, whether a pedicle subtraction osteotomy or vertebral column resection, is most commonly performed through segmental compression, cantilever bending, and in situ bending.…”
