| Popis: | Discal cysts are extradural masses that communicate with the intervertebral disk and are a rare cause of lower back pain and lumbar radiculopathy. This case report describes a lumbar discal cyst, the diagnosis of which was confirmed on conventional discography, and which was treated with computed tomography-guided aspiration and steroid injection. Several reports have described this procedure, but only one in the radiology literature, and thus the purpose of this report is to remind the radiology community of the existence of this entity and propose a minimally invasive means of treatment. |
