"Spinal synovial cysts may be asymptomatic and found incidentally; one large series reported that ~50% were considered incidental and ~50% were associated with ipsilateral radiculopathy 9. Larger and more anteriorly positioned cysts that extend into the spinal canal can result in low back pain, symptomatic spinal canal stenosis (including cauda equina syndrome), and radiculopathy 9,10."
