Location: Griffin Hall - Screen 01
Introduction: Synovial cysts of the lumbar spine can be an underrecognized cause of back or hip pain. They are benign growths that may lead to significant nerve root compression, neuroforaminal or central canal stenosis. Patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency are limited in certain treatments due to contraindications to certain medications. We present a patient with A1AT deficiency and worsening hip pain found to have a large left-sided lumbar synovial cyst causing spinal canal stenosis.
