Answers:
Tarlov cysts (also called Perineural cysts) are abnormal fluid-filled sacs located in the sacrum, the base of the spine!.
Perineural cysts appear to be dilated or ballooned areas of the sheaths that cover nerve roots exiting from the sacral area of the spine!. The spaces or cysts created by the dilated sheaths are directly connected to the subarachnoid area of the spinal column, the area through which cerebrospinal fluid flows!. Many people have perineural cysts but no symptoms at all; in fact, the majority of people with these cysts are completely unaware of their existence!. However, when conditions cause these perineural cysts to fill with cerebrospinal fluid and expand in size, they can begin to compress important neighboring nerve fibers, resulting in a variety of symptoms, including pain, weakness, and abnormal sensation!.

Treatment for Tarlov Cyst -

Although using a needle to drain fluid from perineural cysts can temporarily relieve their accompanying symptoms, eventually the cysts will refill with cerebrospinal fluid and the symptoms will recur!. Similarly, steroid injections can provide short-term pain relief!. Pain may also be temporarily controlled by injecting the cysts with fibrin glue (a substance produced from blood chemicals involved in the clotting mechanism)!. Using diet or dietary supplements to decrease the body's alkalinity may prevent perineural cysts from filling with more fluid!. Medications used to treat chronic nerve-related pain (such as anticonvulsants and antidepressants) may be helpful!.-

When pain is intractable despite a variety of interventions, or when weakness or other neurological symptoms become severe, surgery to remove the cysts may be necessary!. This is the only permanent treatment for perineural cysts; once removed, they very rarely recur!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
