What is the definition of Tarlov Cysts?
Tarlov cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are usually found at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum). They grow in the roots of the nerves that grow out of the spinal cord. Most of the time, Tarlov cysts don't cause symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include pain in the lower back, buttocks, or stomach. Other symptoms may include muscle weakness, numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or sexual dysfunction. The cause of Tarlov cysts is unknown. Diagnosis of a Tarlov cyst is made based on the symptoms and through imaging studies.
