Semptomatik tarlov kistinin tanısal kriterlerinin gözden geçirilmesi: Olgu sunumu

Tarlov kisti olarakta bilinen sakral perinoral kistler dorsal kök gangliyonu ile sinir kökünün birleşme noktasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bunlar genellikle asemptomatiktirler ve herhangi bir yakınmaya yol açmamaktadırlar. Tarlov bu kistleri 3 temel kriterin varlığına dayanarak tanımlamıştır. Bununla birlikte daha sonraki bazı çalışmalarda bu kistlere tanı konulurken bu temel kriterlere dayanılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu yazıda semptomatik tarlov kisti tanısı konulan ve ameliyat edilen 40 yaşında bir bayan olgu sunulacak ve literatür eşliğinde bu tanı kriterleri tekrar gözden geçirilecektir.

Review of the diagnostic criteria of symptomatic tarlov cysts: Case report

Sacral perineural cysts, also known as Tarlov cyst, arise from the junction of the dorsal root ganglion and the nerve root. These are usually asymptomatic and don't cause any complaint. Tarlov defined these cysts according to the presence of three basic criteria. However some authors didn't use these criteria in the diagnosis. In this study we presented a case with symptomatic Tarlov cyst and discussed these criteria with the literature.
