Tarlov and other spinal cysts Tarlov and other spinal cysts. There are several kinds of cysts that occur in and around the spine. The most common and the least understood occur in the sacrum or tail bone. These are commonly called Tarlov cysts after the neurosurgeon who described them over 70 years ago. These are the most common of all the sacral cysts.

Epidermoid Cysts tend to be located in the area where the top part of the brain meets the brain stem.

Types of Lumbar Fusion Interbody Fusion. An inter-body fusion technique removes the disc from between the vertebrae that will be fused together. The discs are then replaced with a bone spacer made of either metal or plastic. There are three main types of inter-body fusion techniques. The posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) technique is performed through an incision in the back (hence, the posterior position) and is usually done when either a single fusion of two vertebrae or a double fusion, which involves three vertebrae, is required.

- Synovial Cyst of the High Cervical Spine Causing Myelopathy Gerardine Quaghebeur1·3 and Martin Jeffree2 Summary: The authors describe the myelographic and post­ myelographic CT findings of an extradural mass with cord compression in an 82-year-old woman. Synovial cysts generally occur posterolaterally and are associated with degenerative facet joints; an unusual site together with facet joint disease should alert the observer to the possibility of a synovial cyst. Index terms: Spine, synovial cyst; Spine, computed tomogra­ phy; Myelography Intraspinal synovial cysts are rare and have mainly been described in the lumbar spine. We report the fourth case of a synovial cyst of the cervical spine and the third case in which it

Tumor vs. cyst: What's the difference? Tumors and cysts are two distinct entities. Cyst. A cyst is a sac that may be filled with air, fluid or other material. A cyst can form in any part of the body, including bones, organs and soft tissues.Most cysts are noncancerous (benign). Some common examples of cysts include sebaceous cysts, small bumps that form just beneath the skin and ovarian cysts.o determine whether a cyst or tumor is benign or malignant, a sample of the affected tissue — or, in some cases, the entire suspicious area — is removed and studied under a microscope. This is known as a biopsy. With. Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D. 1  Small cell, large cell cancer: What this means.

Tarlov cysts are fluid-filled sacs that affect the nerve roots of the spine, especially near the base of the spine (sacral region). Individuals may be affected by multiple cysts of varying size. In most cases, Tarlov cysts do not cause symptoms (asymptomatic).

- Perineural cysts, which are also known as Tarlov cysts, are fluid-filled sacs that form on nerves at the base of the spine. A person with such cysts would likely never know it. They almost never cause symptoms. When they do cause symptoms, however, the most common is pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.

- The most common type of mesothelial cyst found in the mediastinum is the pleuropericardial cyst, which is generally located at the anterior cardiophrenic angle. Other mesothelial cysts occurring in the mediastinum are simple mesothelial cysts and lymphogenous cysts.n adults, historically, the most common type of mediastinal tumor or cyst found has been the neurogenic tumor. This was followed in frequency by thymic tumors, lymphomas, and germ cell tumors. Foregut and pericardial cysts follow these 4 lesions in frequency of occurrence.
