Facet joint synovial cysts can cause significant back pain and radiculopathy. Treatment options for symptomatic facet joint synovial cysts include surgical excision, facet joint steroid injections, and cyst aspiration. Herein, we report our experience of successfully rupturing a lumbar facet joint synovial cyst through a percutaneous approach with two needles using forceful pressure under C-arm fluoroscopic guidance. The patient experienced immediate symptom improvement that persisted throughout the 24-month follow-up. Our experience highlights that the volume effect technique is a valuable treatment option for symptomatic facet joint synovial cysts under fluoroscopic guidance.
