Perineural cysts, which are also known as Tarlov cysts, are fluid-filled sacs that form on the nerve root sheath, most commonly in the sacral area of the spine. They can also occur anywhere else in the spine. They form around the roots of nerves.
A diagnosis may be confirmed by a variety of specialized tests. In some cases, a diagnosis of a Tarlov cyst is made incidentally through x-ray or MRI scan investigation undertaken for other reasons. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar region and computed tomography (CT) can both reveal Tarlov cysts.
Incidence and Prevalence Small, asymptomatic Tarlov cysts are actually present in an estimated 5 to 9 percent of the general population. However, large cysts that cause symptoms are relatively rare. Tarlov cysts were first identified in 1938, yet there is still very limited scientific knowledge available.
