          Abstract

          Spinal cord compressing syndrome due to synovial cyst (SC) of the thoracic spine is a rare clinic condition. We report a case of SC located in the thoracic spine causing spastic paraparesis in a 14 year-old female patient. The SC was removed thoroughly by laminectomy. The patient had an excellent recovery. The etiological and therapeutic aspects are discussed.

          Síndrome de compressão medular causada por cisto sinovial (CS) da coluna torácica é patologia rara e pouco descrita na literatura. Descrevemos um caso de CS da coluna torácica causando paraparesia espástica em uma paciente de 14 anos de idade. O cisto foi removido através de laminectomia e a paciente apresentou uma excelente recuperação. Discutimos os aspectos etiológicos e terapêuticos.

              Aspiration of intraspinal synovial cyst: recurrence after temporal improvement.

              Intraspinal synovial cyst primarily occurs in the lumbar spine and may cause back pain and compression nerve disturbance. Percutaneous aspiration has been recommended as an alternative to surgery in three cases. We report on two patients who improved after aspiration of gelatinous material and steroid injection but whose cyst recurred within a short period of time. There are reportedly two types of synovial cyst: One contains serosanguineous fluid and the other gelatinous fluid. These two types are indistinguishable on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The results of all patients whose aspirated material was gelatinous were unsuccessful, including our cases. Thus, the outcome may depend on the pathology of the cyst.
