Tarlov cysts are formed by ectasia of the perineural spaces around the spinal nerve roots in or distal to the dorsal root ganglion. The cerebrospinal fluid constitutes the cerebrospinal fluid content. Pathogenesis and clinical findings remain unclear. The majority of the defects are asymptomatic. However, in the case of nerve root or spinal cord compression, symptoms such as low back pain, radiculopathy, and bowel and bladder dysfunction occur. Tarlov cyst is rare, and there is limited data on its clinical findings and incidence. This study presents a 10-year-old child patient with urinary incontinence and a Tarlov cyst. This is an interesting case due to the limited data about Tarlov cysts in pediatric patients.
塔洛夫囊肿是由背根神经节内或其远端脊髓神经根周围的神经周隙扩张形成的。脑脊液构成其囊液成分。其发病机制和临床表现仍不清楚。大多数此类病变是无症状的。然而,在出现神经根或脊髓受压的情况下,会出现诸如腰痛、神经根病以及肠道和膀胱功能障碍等症状。塔洛夫囊肿较为罕见,关于其临床表现和发病率的数据有限。本研究报告了一名患有尿失禁的10岁儿童患者及一个塔洛夫囊肿。鉴于儿科患者中关于塔洛夫囊肿的数据有限,这是一个有趣的病例。
