Unlabelled: Synovial sarcomas represent a highly malignant form of mesenchymal tumors. The incidence of synovial sarcomas in the spinal canal is exceptionally rare and has been scarcely reported.
Teaching Point: Comprehending the magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of intraspinal synovial sarcoma is important to prevent misdiagnosis.

Spinal synovial cysts are rare entities for which standard surgical strategies are inconsistent. Here, we present an uncommon intraspinal gas-containing synovial cyst treated by percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic cystectomy. A 52-year-old man presented with radicular pain and intermittent claudication that had persisted for one month.

Background: There is controversy regarding the treatment of symptomatic synovial cysts, specifically, the need for a concomitant fusion when surgical resection of the synovial cysts is required. We present a retrospective review of a series of patients treated for symptomatic synovial cysts of the lumbar region during the last 20 years by a single surgeon, analyzing the current available literature.
Methods: Retrospective review.

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important tool in preoperative evaluation of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Reported reliability of various MRI findings in LSS varies from fair to excellent. There are inconsistencies in the evaluated parameters and the methodology of the studies.

Rationale: Intraspinal gout tophus in the lumbar vertebral canal associated with gouty arthritis is rare. We present 2 cases with the first manifestations of a sequestrated intervertebral disc and an extradural tumor, and histopathologically proven to be gouty deposits in the lumbar vertebral canal.
Patient Concerns: The 2 patients presented with typical radiculopathy symptoms and a positive straight leg raise.
