Tarlov cysts are most commonly located in the S1 to S4/S5 region of the spinal canal, but can be found along any region of the spine.They usually form on the extradural components of sacrococcygeal nerve roots at the junction of dorsal root ganglion and posterior nerve roots and arise between the endoneurium and perineurium.

During World War II, Tarlov researched the use of blood plasma clotting agent as an adhesive to repair nerve cells. [2] Tarlov first noticed the cysts while doing a postmortem examination of 30 filum terminale specimens in 1938, and he published his findings in the Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry. He initially believed the cysts were the ...
Moderate-to-severe cases can cause radicular pain in the legs caused by nerve root compression. [5] The symptoms are usually exacerbated by upright posture and often, but not always, relieved by lying down. Postural headaches can be related to spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks. [6] However, in many patients, dural ectasia is ...
The sacral spinal nerve 5 (S5) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from below the 5th body of the sacrum. Sacrum, showing bodies in center. S5 supplies the coccygeus muscle.
The sacral spinal nerve 2 (S2) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from below the 2nd body of the sacrum.
A nerve root (Latin: radix nervi) is the initial segment of a nerve leaving the central nervous system.Nerve roots can be classified as: Cranial nerve roots: the initial or proximal segment of one of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves leaving the central nervous system from the brain stem or the highest levels of the spinal cord.
The sacral sympathetic nerves arise from the sacral part of the sympathetic trunk, emerging anteriorly from the ganglia.They travel to their corresponding side's inferior hypogastric plexus, where the preganglionic nerve fibers synapse with the postganglionic sympathetic neurons, whose fibers ascend to the superior hypogastric plexus, the aortic plexus and the inferior mesenteric plexus, where ...
The posterior divisions of the sacral nerves are small and diminish in size as they move downward; they emerge, except the last, through the posterior sacral foramina. The upper three are covered at their points of exit by the multifidus and divide into medial and lateral branches.
