A member asked:
I have a nerve root within the lateral recess. they've mentioned a focal cyst; would that be the same as a synovial cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: First, it is normal to have a nerve root in the lateral recess, that is where they normally are. A synovial cyst can be described as a focal cyst and usually arises from the facet joint. If the cyst pushes in a nerve root, the patient may experience pain or numbness running down the leg.
