What symptom does lumbar cyst have?

summary

Sacral canal cyst belongs to dural cyst, originated from spinal cord capsule, so it is called "spinal canal meningeal cyst". The incidence rate of sacral cyst in the population is not exact. Since the MRI examination has been widely applied in clinic, the discovery rate of sacral cyst has become more and more high, which has caused great concern for patients. In fact, understanding the causes and treatment of sacral cyst can greatly reduce this concern. What symptom does lumbar cyst have? Let's talk about it

What symptom does lumbar cyst have?

Most of the patients without spinal nerve root fiber had no symptoms; 25% of patients with epidural spinal cyst containing spinal nerve root fibers had symptoms. There are sensory and motor nerves innervating the sellar area, dorsal thigh and perineal area in the sacral canal,

There are also parasympathetic nerve fibers that control the urination and defecation. The cyst near the head will compress the sciatic nerve. Therefore, the main clinical manifestations of sacrococysts are chronic pain and discomfort in the lower waist, sacrococcygeal region and perineum; It can also be accompanied by pain in the back of the thigh, sciatica, and even neurogenic claudication.

Sacral cysts are meningeal cysts, not tumors, and have no possibility of malignant transformation. The pressure of cerebrospinal fluid in the cyst is increased, which oppresses the surrounding sacral nerve and bone. In severe cases, it can cause bone destruction. If the cyst continues to compress the peripheral nerve fibers, severe patients will have sensory, motor dysfunction, and even abnormal urination and defecation function. Rare cases of chemical inflammation caused by cyst rupture.

matters needing attention

After operation, the patients should take the prone position with head low and hip high as far as possible, and the wound should be compressed by sandbags. After 1 week, the patients should wear a apron, and after 3 weeks, they should take functional exercise. At present, the most reasonable and reliable treatment is still based on microsurgery, which can not eliminate the space occupying effect of cysts and the impact of cerebrospinal fluid on the tissues around cysts by using "minimally invasive" methods such as cyst suction and drug injection.
