A member asked:
Irm show arthrosis of l5-s1 with hypersignal andmultiples cysts perineural and tarlov. what does that mean and what can i do if i have symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tarlov cysts: Tarlov cysts or perineural cysts are collections of fluid around nerves. Most doctors consider them "incidental findings" on an mri, meaning that they are just there, but not causing any symptoms. I have seen a very small number of cases of very large cysts that i thought were causing some nerve pain--but it is very unusual.
