Symptomatic sacral Tarlov cyst: Case report and review of literature.

Tarlov cysts are a common finding in MRI. Most of them are asymptomatic but in some cases can cause pain in urogenital region. Diagnosis and treatment are controversial and most of the symptomatic cases are not well diagnosed and treated because of unawareness of neurosurgeons about them. Treatment of symptomatic TC is effective and good results have been published with percutaneous and surgical techniques. A case of a young woman with a symptomatic sacral cyst treated surgically successfully is presented and literature about it is reviewed.
