Filling of a sacral bone defect from a perineurial cyst by cementation

J Spinal Disord Tech. 2002 Dec;15(6):523-5. doi: 10.1097/00024720-200212000-00016.

Abstract

In this study we present a case of Tarlov's cyst that is treated operatively. The operation involved partial excision and oversewing of the cyst wall with connection to the dural sac and methylmethacrylate filling of the sacral bone defect that is formed by the cyst to prevent cyst recurrence. In symptomatic cases Tarlov's cyst can be treated operatively with a favorable outcome.
