Review
Ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an uncommon pathology with uncertain etiology. There is no consensus on their management. The current systematic review aimed to discuss the clinical and histopathological features of ganglion cysts of TMJ, to aid in appropriate treatment. A literature search was done and a total of 20 cases were retrieved from published databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar. The cyst presented with swelling in all the cases followed by pain (50 %) and trismus (35 %) as other common symptoms. Though CT and MRI proved helpful in determining the location of the cyst, a histopathological examination was essential in concluding its final diagnosis. It is a pseudocyst lined by dense fibro-connective tissue with myxoid tissue degeneration. Histologically, it is essential to distinguish them from the clinically and radiographically similar true cyst of TMJ, synovial cyst. The lining of ganglion cyst is devoid of epithelium and synovial cells. Surgical excision was found to be the treatment of choice with minimal recurrence (10 %) being reported.

Review
The ganglion of the wrist is very common but with uncertain prognosis. The arthroscopic resection seems to improve the result compared with open procedure, in decreasing recurrence and morbidity. Volar ganglions are close to the radial artery, the flexor pollicis longus tendon, and even the median nerve. Ultrasonography combined with arthroscopy offers incomparable safety for the resection of volar ganglions. The technical steps of this combined procedure are described, and the first published series are discussed.

BACKGROUND
Lumbar intraspinal ganglion cysts are a rare cause of lumbar radiculopathy. These cysts are often extradural and next to facet joints. Sometimes they are related to ligamentum flavum or posterior longitudinal ligament. To our knowledge, lumbar intradural ganglion cyst has not been reported to date.
CASE DESCRIPTION
We report a case of a fifth lumbar intradural ganglion cyst in an elderly patient presenting with insidious onset of left-sided lower limb pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine revealed a left-sided ventrolateral intraspinal cystic lesion abutting on the fifth lumbar vertebral body with ring enhancement of the cyst wall. During surgery, no lesion was found related to the facet joint or in the epidural space. Instead, a dura-based septated ganglion cyst was noted intradurally. The patient's discomfort was completely relieved postoperatively. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging showed complete removal of the cyst.
CONCLUSIONS
A lumbar intradural dura-based ganglion cyst in an elderly patient led to compressive radiculopathy. Total removal of the cyst was achieved, and the patient's discomfort was completely relieved after surgery. The origin and pathogenesis of the lumbar intradural ganglion cyst are still unknown. Surgical extirpation is regarded as the treatment of choice.
