A member asked:
Mri results of lumbar spine: small synovial cysts along the posterior aspect of the left articular facet? what does this mean in 30yr old female
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No real issue: Synovial cysts are congenital variations of no significance unless they substantially enlarge, and in your case, seem a co-incidental finding of little relevance. Discuss in more detail with your doctor and have him/her demonstrate the findings on the films to provide further reassurance.
