Description

Leonardo Bradaschia and co-authors reported on fluid cysts after nerve injury in two thousand twenty-four. Trauma that tears a nerve root from the spine can leave a cyst. The cyst fills with spinal fluid but sits outside the normal sac. It is held in only by nearby soft tissue. Most such cysts are harmless findings on scans.

Rarely, size makes a cyst cause symptoms. It can also block a planned nerve repair surgery. The team reviewed past reports spanning five decades. Only a handful of papers met their strict criteria. They add a case from their own hospital to the review. The summary guides surgeons on when to treat or watch. It also flags what to check before reconstruction.
