Core Tip	This paper is an original study that analyzes for the first time the many words and acronyms used in literature to describe lumbar extradural cysts, suggesting the term “ganglion cyst” in clinical practice. It also propose a morphological classification of these cysts, which could be useful for clinicians and surgeons. Finally, a description of microsurgical approaches to resect the cyst and avoid spinal instability is reported: As a guide to a common therapeutical strategy, we report a flow-chart, evaluating clinical conditions, mechanical stability and the most suitable treatment.
