Symptomatic Bilateral Cervical Perineural Cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perineural or Tarlov cysts were first described by Tarlov [1] in 1938 during his autopsy studies of the filum terminale [1]. Studies have shown the prevalence of these cysts to vary from 4.6% in some to upto 9% in others [2,3]. Although most of these lesions are asymptomatic, on rare occasions, they may cause local or radicular pain, dysesthesia or paresthesia, paresis and bladder or bowel dysfunction. The ability to diagnose perineural cyst as a cause of neurological dysfunction has been enhanced by CT and MRI.

متن کاملA symptomatic lumbosacral perineural cyst -A case report-
Lumbosacral perineural cysts are formed by the arachnoid membrane of the nerve root at the lumbosacral level. Most of these cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally during computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for other causes of chronic lower back pain. This type of cyst requires a differential diagnosis to distinguish it from other causes of radiating pain and ...
