Large symptomatic sacral Tarlov cyst in a paediatric patient: case report and technical note on a new variation of surgical technique to overcome one-way check-valve mechanism

ConclusionOne-way check-valve mechanism might contribute to the symptomatology of large sacral Tarlov cysts in children. Our new variation of a surgical technique enables elimination of the check-valve mechanism without the necessity to open and close the typically very thin and fragile cyst surface and is therefore an efficacious and simple option in this situation.
