Although rare, cervical synovial cysts are associated with a significant impairment in patients' daily activities. The atypical pattern of symptoms described in this case may be associated with the fluid content of the cyst, with postural changes causing different degrees of root compression. Most authors agree on a surgical option, but the need for associated fusion is still under debate.
