Abstract
Authors describe the clinical cases of patients operated on because of rare lumbar spine pathology (discal cysts). This article presents the experience of diagnostics and surgical treatment of 5 patients with discal cysts who were operated on at the base of neurological orthopedic department of Novosibirsk Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics from 2009 till 2012. The average age was 38,2±12,9 years old (3 men, 2 women). All patients suffered from radicular pain syndrome resistant to conservative treatment and caused by discal cysts revealed by MRI. There were no relapses of pain syndrome during follow-up. The literature data describe only sporadic clinical cases concerning such pathology. The discussion about etiology and pathogenesis of discal cysts and analysis of various treatment methods based on literature data are presented in conclusion.
