Electromyography and A Review of the Literature Provide Insights into the Role of Sacral Perineural Cysts in Unexplained Chronic Pelvic, Perineal and Leg Pain Syndromes
Tarlov cysts (TCs), or perineural cysts, are spinal meningeal cysts that contain nerve root fibers. They originate from dilations of the nerve root sheath at the dorsal root ganglion and are most frequently identified in the sacrum [1,2]. In 1938, when Isadore Tarlov discovered sacral cysts, he first believed that they were benign incidental findings….
Are Tarlov Cysts Being Identified and Reported on Lumbar Spine MRI Scan in Patients with Sciatica
Following advances in surgical technique sacral Tarlov Cysts (TCs) are now a treatable cause of back painand sciatica.1,2 However many surgeons and radiologists still view them as an incidental finding. This audit wasperformed to raise awareness of TCs within the hospital and further afield, assess the extent to which TCsare present in patients with sciatica…
Symptomatic Tarlov cysts are often overlooked. Ten reasons why.
Several authors have observed that radicular pain is a commonly underrecognizedsymptom of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Of interest is that dilations of the nerve rootsheaths could be seen peroperatively or on MRI/CT imaging in these cases, and radicularpain resolved immediately following CSF evacuation [15-18]. Thus, under hydrostatic and pulsatile CSF pressures, some nerve root sheaths maydilate…
Management of Tarlov cysts: an uncommon but potentially serious spinal column disease—review of the literature and experience with over 1000 referrals
Tarlov cysts were thought to be anatomic variants of uncertain etiology and clinical significance when initially described over 80 years ago. They are often detected in routine lumbosacral imaging and generally not reported in a differential diagnosis. There is increasing evidence that at least some Tarlov cysts are symptomatic and can have a significant adverse…
Diagnosis and Treatment of Symptomatic Multiple Sacral Perineural Cysts
Sacral perineural cysts are rarely symptomatic; however, they may occasionally cause varioussymptoms. As the patient exhibits multiple cysts, it often becomes difficult to determine if thesecysts are symptomatic.

Thecaloscopy Reduces the Risk of Recurrent Perineural (Tarlov) Cysts after Microsurgical Resection
Sacral Tarlov cysts (TCs), often asymptomatic, can cause significant pain and severeneurological dysfunction. Conventional treatments are generally associated with high recurrenceand complication rates. Specifically, the substantial recurrence rates, which can reach as high as50%, significantly impact long-term outcomes. Recent evidence increasingly supports the hypothesisthat the formation of Tarlov cysts (TCs) may be associated with inflammatory…
