A 51 year old male with low backache. No neck pain. No radiating pain to any of upper limb. No neuro deficit on clinical examination. No history of trauma.
Associated with corresponding neural foraminal widening or focal scalloping of wall of bony spinal canal.
Exact mechanism not known. Trauma, hemorrhage and Arachnoid proliferation are the proposed mechanisms. The primary pathology is a focal meningeal weakness resulting in dilatation of nerve root sleeves due to Csf pulsation and its hydrostatic pressure.
These are the leave alone lesions as they are often asymptomatic and detected incidentally. Usually associated with no neurological deficit, if any, may not correspond to cyst clinically.
