    BackgroundThis study reports the anatomopathological classification of Tarlov cysts and the various treatment techniques described in the literature.MethodsThe authors present their patient series (19 cases) with a long follow-up (range 9 months to 25 years) treated by cyst remodeling around the root using titanium clips.ResultsThe technique is effective in both avoiding cerebrospinal fluid leakage and resolving bladder dysfunction when urinary symptoms are incomplete and discontinuous.ConclusionsThe clipping technique for Tarlov cysts is easy, valid, safe, rapid, and effective.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
