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.
Los quistes de Talov son un hallazgo frecuente en resonancia magnética. La mayoría de ellos son asintomáticos, pero en algunos casos pueden producir síntomas dolorosos urogenitales. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de los quistes de Tarlov es controvertido y la mayoría de los casos sintomáticos no son diagnosticados adecuadamente debido a que el neurocirujano no es capaz de identificar el cuadro clínico. El tratamiento de los quistes de Tarlov sintomáticos es efectivo y se han publicado buenos resultados tanto con técnicas percutáneas como quirúrgicas. Se presenta el caso de una mujer joven con quiste de Tarlov sintomático intervenida quirúrgicamente con resolución de la clínica y se revisa la literatura publicada al respecto.
