Can vertebral cyst malignant change

First of all: Intraspinal cysts are benign lesions, grow slowly, and generally do not have malignant changes. The clinical manifestations are similar to lumbar disc herniation. The main symptoms are chest lumbosacral pain, perineal hypoesthesia, defecation, limb weakness and numbness.

Second: patients in a short period of time will occur neurological disorders, severe cases will lead to paralysis. The most common symptoms of patients are nerve root pain; the main sensory disorders are ascending and descending disorders; severe patients will also show obvious impairment of sphincter function.

Patients with obvious symptoms of spinal cord compression (such as low back and leg pain, intermittent claudication, lower limb muscle strength and hypoesthesia, perineal pain or hypoesthesia, dysuria, sexual dysfunction, etc.) and ineffective conservative treatment can choose surgical treatment.
