Periarticular cysts (PAC) at the level of the cervical spine are rare and cause difficulties in diagnosis. The article presents an observation of a 72-year-old patient with spinal canal stenosis at the C7-Th1 level due to a PAC at the C7-Th1 level on the right, compression-ischemic radiculopathy C8 on the right. For 10 months, the cause of radiculopathy at the cervical level was not determined, and there was no effect from the treatment. The patient was prescribed repeated courses of drug treatment, physiotherapy, massage, diagnostic injections and blockages, while not considering the possibility of a PAC in which surgical treatment is most effective. The detection of a PAC, its surgical treatment, followed by kinesiotherapy led to a complete regression of pain syndrome within 3 months. The issues of pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of PAC of the cervical spine are discussed.
Keywords: chronic pain in the cervical spine, surgical treatment, multidisciplinary approach
