Tarlov cysts are an uncommon and often incidentally noted source of low back pain in women. Because these cysts can be asymptomatic, they can be overlooked on radiological imaging. This case is of a 49-year-old woman who presented with a chronic history of low back pain and bilateral radiculopathy who on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was found to have multiple Tarlov cysts. This case illustrates the need for large observational studies to show the incidence of Tarlov cysts as a cause of low back pain in women.
塔尔洛夫囊肿是女性下背痛的一种罕见且常为偶然发现的病因。由于这些囊肿可能无症状,在放射影像学检查中可能被忽视。本病例为一名49岁女性,有慢性下背痛和双侧神经根病病史,磁共振成像(MRI)检查发现有多个塔尔洛夫囊肿。该病例表明需要开展大型观察性研究,以明确塔尔洛夫囊肿作为女性下背痛病因的发生率。
