Abstract
We report the case of a 77-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with cauda equina syndrome. An urgent magnetic resonance imaging scan showed lumbar spinal canal compression at L4-L5 and L5-S1. An urgent laminectomy was performed and cystic lesions were extracted. On pathological examination, the lesions were identified as synovial cysts. The patient required rehabilitation and achieved good functional recovery, although sensory deficit remains in the sacral segments.
