Synovial cysts of the spine are cystic dilations of the synovial sheaths. The cysts most commonly arise in the lumbar spine but can rarely occur in the thoracic spine. A 70-year-old man presented with 2-month history of paresthesia of both hip. The spinal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 0.8 cm sized synovial cyst contiguous with the left T12?L1 facet joint causing compression of the spinal cord. After operative removal of abnormal calcified cyst, symptoms and signs ere improved.
