Abstract
Intraspinal synovial cysts, sometimes referred to as ganglion cysts, are uncommon lesions which may present as acute or chronic low back pain, with or without radicular symptoms. We present two patients who presented with back pain and radicular symptoms attributable to the unusual pathology of an intraspinal synovial cyst.
