Review Case Reports
[Tarlov cyst and faecal incontinence: A case report and literature review].
Tarlov, or perineural cysts, are lesions of the nerve root usually located at the sacral level of the spine. Their cause is unclear. ⋯ Symptomatic cysts are infrequent, with symptoms usually consisting of pain, radiculopathy and, less frequently, bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with Tarlov cyst, provoking faecal incontinence, and review the aetiology, pathophysiology and management of this particular case.
