Materials and Methods: We analyzed a total of 23 patients. The degree of facet joint degeneration was classified using the Fujiwara method. The facet joint angles were measured with an magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether there was a difference between the cystic lesion that was occupied and the cystic lesion that was not occupied. Disc degeneration was measured by the Pfirrmann classification method. The clinical result was evaluated using the Oswestry disability index score and visual analogue scale. Results: The L4 5 level of juxtafacet cyst was mostly affected, as found in previous studies. Facet joint arthritis was more severe within the side with the cystic lesion. Significant correlation was found between disc degeneration and juxtafacet joint cyst. All patients underwent wide decompression and fusion. Clinical result was excellent. No patients had signs of recurrence during the follow-up periods. Conclusion: Juxtafacet cyst has a significant correlation with facet joint degeneration. Therefore, aggressive surgical treatment not just simple cyst excision should be considered as the treatment option for juxtafacet cyst associated with degenerative lumbar disease.

69 Radiologic Features and Surgical Outcome of Juxtafacet Cyst 절에서기원하는결절종으로구별이된다. 활액낭종의경우조직학적으로활액막을포함하나, 신경절낭종은활액막이없고, 느슨한낭종벽과혈관분포가비교적좋은섬유성연부조직을포함하는것이일반적이다. 3) 본연구에서낭종의조직학적분류를확인하고자하였으나광범위감압술및후관절절제술로인한낭종의파괴로적절한검체를얻지못하여병리학적평가가이루어지지못하였다. 척추의활액낭종의정확한발생기전은분명하지않으나척추관절의이상운동, 외상, 퇴행성변화등이연관되었을것으로추정하고있다. 1,4,7,9,13) 일반적으로척추후관절의퇴행성변화는컴퓨터단층촬영을통해서분류하였으나 Fujiwara 등 14) 은 MRI를통해서도약 94% 이상의정확도로후관절의퇴행단계를구분할수있다고발표하였고, 본연구에서도 MRI를통하여후관절의퇴행도를분석하였다. Khan 등 15) 은 39 예의요추활액낭종의수술적치료경험을보고하면서제4-5 요추간분절에서가장흔하였고, 단순낭종절제술을시행한군보다골유합술을추가로시행한군의수술후임상경과가우월하여이는제4-5 요추간분절의과도한운동성과연관이있는것으로주장하였다. 본연구에서도제4-5 요추간분절에생긴낭종의빈도가 16예 (69.6%) 로가장높았으며다른여러저자들의연구에서도마찬가지로제4-5 요추간의낭종발생이비교적더높은것으로보고하였다. 16-18) 따라서척추분절의과도한운동성과활액낭종의발생은어느정도유의한연관이있을것으로생각된다. Wilby 등 6) 과 Doyle과 Merrilees 19) 는후방관절의퇴행화과정에서발생하는관절의유리와반흔형성에서낭종이쉽게발생할수있는환경이조성된다고추정하면서후관절퇴행의진행과활액낭종의발생이밀접한관계가있다고제시하였다. 본연구에서도 22예 (95.7%) 의대상에서낭종이발생한분절에양측성후관절퇴행성변화가관찰되었으며더불어낭종이발생한방향과일치한방향의후관절퇴행도가유의하게높게나타났고 (p<0.01) Fujiwara 등 14) 이발표한바와마찬가지로후관절의퇴행성변화와동반된추간판의퇴행성변화 (73.9%) 를관찰할수있었다. 따라서후관절낭종과후관절퇴행성변화는밀접한연관이있을것으로판단된다. Noren 등 20) 의연구에따르면후관절굴성 (tropism) 은추간판의퇴행성변화가있는경우유의하게증가하는것으로발표하였다. 본연구에서는후관절의퇴행성변화와더불어추간판의유의한퇴행성변화를관찰하였으나 Noren 등 20) 과는상반되게후관절의굴성은증가하지않는결과를보였다. 이러한상반된결과의원인으로서대상환자의나이가 Noren 등 20) 의연구에서는평균 32.5세였으나본연구에서는평균 58.3세로높았던점이어느정도영향이있을것으로생각되며 Farfan과 Sullivan 21) 은후관절굴성은젊은환자군에서초기추간판의퇴행성변화와관련성이있을것으로발표하였다. Grogan 등 22) 은후관절굴성의정도와후관절의퇴행성변화와는관계가없다고주장하였다. 본연구에서도마찬가지로진행 된후관절의퇴행성변화와상반되게후관절의굴성은크지않아 Grogan 등 22) 이발표한내용과일치하는결과를보였다. Métellus 등 7) 은편측부분척추후궁절제술 (partial hemilaminectomy), 부분내측후관절절제술 (partial medial facetectomy), 근위추간공절개술 (proximal foraminotomy) 과같은최소침습적수술방법을선택하여양호한임상적결과를발표하였으며이과같은수술적방법을선택할경우광범위감압술과는달리척추분절간불안정성을유발하지않기때문에유합술은필수적이지않다고발표하였다. 하지만그들또한척추분절의과도한운동성과퇴행성변화를낭종발생의유력한원인으로제시하였으며위와같은수술방법을시행한후재발시에는유합술을시행하였다. 반면 Lyons 등 13) 은척추후관절낭종환자들의약 50% 의높은빈도로척추전방전위증이동반된다고보고하였고후궁절제술, 후관절절제술과같은수술적치료후에약 25% 의환자에서지연적으로척추전방전위증및불안정성이발생할수있어유합술을병행하는것에대하여긍정적인견해를제시하였다. 마찬가지로본연구에서도약 30.4% 의환자에게서척추전방전위증이관찰되었으며유합술로좋은임상결과를얻었고추시기간내재발은발생하지않았다. 후관절의퇴행성변화는요통의가장흔한원인중하나이며 23) 비록아직까지논란의여지가남아있긴하지만척추분절의과도한운동성과후관절의퇴행성변화를여러저자들이낭종발생의유력한원인으로제시하고있다. 7,9,16-18) 본연구에서요추제4-5 분절에낭종의발생빈도가가장높았던것과높은비율 (30.4%) 로척추전방전위증이동반되어있던점, 그리고낭종이발생한분절에서낭종의방향과일관되게후관절과추간판의퇴행성변화의단계가높았던사실은위의두가지가설에더욱힘을실어주는결과로해석할수있다. 이렇듯척추후관절근접낭종이발생하는원인에관해서는현재어느정도의견의합치가이뤄지는것으로보여지나아직까지수술적치료방법에대한정립은부족한상태이다. 최근최소침습적인다양한수술법들의양호한임상결과들이발표되면서광범위감압술과유합술을배제한수술적접근법들이시행되고있으며특히분절간불안정성이나척추전방전위증이동반되지않은경우에는단순낭종감압만으로도좋은임상결과를보고하고있다. 1,4,7,13,24) 하지만유합술을배제한수술시 2%-15% 의재발이보고되고있으며 7,13,24) 이는결국낭종의단순절제나부분후궁절제술, 부분후관절절제술, 부분추간공절개술을시행하였을경우낭종의감압에효과에의한임상적증상은다소호전을보일수있으나앞서낭종발생의유력한병인으로받아들여지고있는후관절의퇴행성변화및분절간의과도한운동성대한근본적인치료는되지못할것으로생각된다. 이를고려하여광범위감압술및유합술을시행하는것이보다병인론적으로근본적인치료법이될수있으며재발률을낮추는데도유리할것으로생각
70 Whoan Jeang Kim, et al. 되나충분한근거를제시할만한연구는아직불충분한상태이다. 단순낭종감압술과광범위감압술및유합술간의임상결과및추시결과를비교분석하고대규모의대조연구를통해각각의환자에게맞는수술의적응증을확립하기위한추가적인연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 본연구의모든환자들은광범위감압술및후방기기를이용한유합술을시행받았고술후최소 2년에서 12년간추적관찰하였으며모두양호한경과를보였고재발은없었다. 결론 후관절근접낭종은제4-5 요추에가장호발하였으며후관절근접낭종이위치한분절의퇴행성변화는대개양측성으로발생하였으나 MRI를통한 grading 시낭종이이환된측의후관절에퇴행성변화가더유의하게높은것으로나타났으며양측후관절각도에는유의한차이가없었다. 낭종이위치한분절에척추관협착증이대부분동반되었으며, 추간판은퇴행성변화가동반되었고불안정성이동반되는경우전방전위가가장많았다. 후관절낭종과동반된퇴행성요추부질환에서광범위감압술및후방기기를이용한유합술을병행하는것도좋은치료방법이될수있을것이라고생각된다.
