Study Design: Case report
Objectives: We report a case of relatively rare multiple bilateral perineural cysts.
Summary of the Literature Review: Tarlov cysts, also known as perineural cysts are most often found in the sacral region, but there are a few cases reported in the thoracic region. In particular, there are very few cases of multiple bilateral thoracic perineural cysts.
Materials and Methods : A woman aged 65 years with perineural cysts in the bilateral T10-T11 and T11-12 neural foramens, underwent a T10-11-12 decompressive laminectomy and resection of the cyst.
Results: Satisfactory results were obtained for the patient after surgery.
Conclusion: For more detailed and definitive treatment of thoracic perineural cysts, additional cases are required.
