Tarlov / perineural cyst

A Tarlov cyst (also known as a perineural cyst) is a contained outpouching of cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal around the normally exiting nerve between the vertebrae of the spine (at the neural foramen). These Tarlov cysts can slowly grow and erode the adjacent bony wall enlarging the neural foramen.
