A member asked:

Are tarlov cysts serious? one showed at s1 of spine on mri that i had for another reason. thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: These are usually asymptomatic cyst that develop along the sacral or lower nerve roots. If you had the MR done for another reason - these cysts were incidentally recognized- then I would recommend just watching them and knowing about them for now. Usually, they don't cause issues. Hope this helped!
