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.
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.
