Synovial Cyst Synovial cysts are benign, fluid-filled sacs that develop in the facet joints of the lumbar spine as a result of degeneration. If large enough, these sacs can cause spinal stenosis.ccasionally, however, these cysts can cause pain in the lower back that travels down the legs. The pain is relieved when sitting as this position widens the spinal canal and relieves pressure on the nerves. A synovial cyst can be seen on a. MRI.

Baker's Cyst A Baker's cyst is a swelling that can develop behind the knee. It is filled with synovial fluid which is the lubricating fluid that is usually found inside the knee joint. It most commonly occurs if there is an underlying problem with your knee such as osteoarthritis. secondary Baker's cyst. Sometimes a Baker's cyst can develop if there is an underlying problem within the knee, such as arthritis or a tear in the meniscal cartilage that lines the inside of the knee joint. This type of Baker's cyst is the most common. It is sometimes referred to as a secondary Baker's cyst.

But sometimes the knee produces too much synovial fluid, resulting in buildup of fluid in an area on the back of your knee (popliteal bursa), causing a Baker's cyst. This can happen because of: 1  Inflammation of the knee joint, such as occurs with various types of arthritis.  A knee injury, such as a cartilage tear.

- A Baker's cyst is a pocket of fluid that forms a lump behind the knee. It is also called a popliteal cyst. See a picture of a Baker's cyst . A Baker's cyst is caused when excess joint fluid is pushed into one of the small sacs of tissue behind the knee. When this sac fills with fluid and bulges out, it is called a cyst. The excess fluid is usually caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis that irritate the knee.

Synovial Cyst in the Lumbar Spine Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when degeneration in the facet joints causes pressure on the nerves as they exit the spine (see Figure 1). Causes of a Synovial Cyst. Synovial cysts develop as a result of degeneration in the facet joint in the lumbar spine. It is typically a process that only happens in the lumbar spine, and it almost always develops at the L4-L5 level (rarely at L3-L4).

Synovial membrane The synovial membrane is a specialized connective tissue that lines the inner surface of capsules of synovial joints and tendon sheath. It makes direct contact with the synovial fluid lubricant, which it is primarily responsible for maintaining. In contact with the synovial fluid at the tissue surface are many rounded macrophage-like synovial cells and Fibroblast-like synovial cells. Type A cells maintains the synovial fluid by removing wear-and-tear debris and type B cells produces hyaluronan a

Synovial cysts â overview and treatment options However, if the synovial cyst expands or if more cysts form, spinal stenosis may begin to develop. Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which in this case would be caused by the formation of synovial cysts along the spine. The cysts may compress a nerve root in the spinal canal and result in chronic lower back pain.
