Patients with Marfan syndrome used to succumb early in life from cardiovascular complications. With the current rapid advance in medical and surgical care, such patients may now have near-normal longevities. Consequently, rare late-life complications are emerging in these patients and represent challenges to clinicians for their diagnoses and treatments. The authors report a rare case of pelvic pain and genital prolapse from a giant presacral Tarlov cyst in a 67-year-old patient with Marfan syndrome. This 67-year-old Caucasian female presented with progressively severe pelvic pain, intermittent explosive diarrhea, and dysuria. Physical and bimanual examination demonstrated genital prolapse and a nontender, cyst-like mass fixed in the midline. She underwent ultrasound, CT, and eventually MRI evaluations that led to the diagnosis of a giant (6.7 × 6.4 × 6.6 cm) Tarlov cyst originating from the right S-2 nerve root sleeve/sacral foramen with intrapelvic extension. She underwent S1–S2 and S2–S3 laminectomy with obliteration of the Tarlov cyst using aneurysm clips. Postoperatively, her pelvic pain and bowel symptoms resolved and the bladder symptoms improved. The 3-month follow-up CT of abdomen/pelvis demonstrated resolution of the cyst. The present case illustrates that clinicians caring for elderly patients with Marfan syndrome need to increasingly recognize such unusual late-life complications. Also, these large Tarlov cysts can be simply and effectively obliterated with aneurysm clips.

A 65-year-old patient presenting with left labial and perirectal pain was diagnosed with bilateral Tarlov cysts. Upon treatment of the left Tarlov cyst (the right was asymptomatic) using image-guided aspiration and subsequent injection of the cyst with fibrin sealant, the cyst reduced in size. To our knowledge, there are currently no other documented cases in which the Tarlov cyst reduced in size following this procedure. This case would seem to suggest that clinicians are poorly informed with regard to Tarlov cysts. These cysts are more common in Caucasian women, many of whom are told their cysts are not responsible for their pain or that they are not treatable. However, there is clear evidence that some Tarlov cysts are symptomatic and minimally invasive procedures have been developed to treat them. As they primarily occur in women, it is possible gender bias may also play a role in the delayed diagnosis of the patient’s pain.

Introduction: The spinal perineurial cyst is a rare anomaly of the nervous system. It is also known as Tarlov cyst, since it was described for the first time by Isadore M. Tarlov. The pathology is defined as a cystic dilatation between the perineurium and endoneurium of spinal nerve roots, located at the level of the spinal ganglion and filled with cerebrospinal fluid but without communication with the perineurial subarachnoid space. Case report: We present the case of a 56-year-old female who reported sudden onset of symptoms of a depressive symptomatology accompanied with acute pain in the lumbar area. Lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed Tarlov cysts. Discussion: Radiological investigations in patients with depressive symptomatology may be substantial.

Primary spinal hydatid cyst is a rare and uncommon entity but a significant manifestation of hydatid disease. Here, we report a case of primary extramural hydatid cyst of the sacral region causing cord compression. Pre-operative differential diagnosis was that of Tarlov cyst owing to the radiological appearance and location of the cyst. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was established intra-operatively which was later confirmed by histopathology report. Hydatidcyst may not fall under differential diagnosis of extramural lesions of the spine due to its rarity but should be kept under high suspicion in endemic countries.
