Abstract

The lumbar intervertebral discal cyst is a very rare benign spinal lesion. Only a few cases are reported in the literature. It may cause spinal nerve root compression and subsequent neurological deficits like low back pain and radiculopathy. MRI is the investigation of choice. Surgical excision of the cyst and the decompression of the nerve root and the thecal sac is the definitive treatment. Here, we are presenting a similar case in 26-year male, its diagnosis, surgical management, and outcome.
