Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sacral perineural cyst or Tarlov cyst was first described by Tarlov in 1938 as an incidental findings at autopsy. Since then, fewer than 100 cases of symptomatic Tarlov cysts have been reported in the literature. Asymptomatic Tarlov cysts account for approximately 1% of a coincidental finding when lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed for other reasons, but Tarlov cyst can be a rare cause of lumbosacral radiculopathy. We experienced a case of 47-year-old man with Tarlov cyst after spinal cord injury associated with detrusor hypoactivity and fecal incontinence. We report a case of Tarlov cyst with brief review of related literature.
