Retrodental Synovial Cyst Which Disappeared after Posterior C1-C2 Fusion: A Case Report

Retrodental Synovial Cyst Which Disappeared after Posterior C1-C2 Fusion: A Case Report

Synovial cysts of the cervical spine are extremely rare. We describe an 8-year-old boy with atlantoaxial subluxation and hypoplasia of the dens. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a round lesion, posterior to the odontoid process. This mass was characterized by a low signal intensity on T1-weighted i...
