Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Perineural cyst (Tarlov cyst) is often detected by MRI incidentally. Leave it alone if you are asymptomatic. By NIH website: microsurgical removal of the cyst may be an option in select individuals who do not respond to conservative treatments and who continue to experience pain or progressive neurological damage. See a spine surgeon if you have chronic pain or neurologic issues.
