“…Many cases of adult patients have shown Tarlov cysts to be a complication of EDS [7,[9][10][11][12], and only one such shows this association in a pediatric patient [11]. Our case adds to this limited data and helps recognize urinary incontinence as a symptom of Tarlov cyst development.…”

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a rare genetic disorder, causes hyperlaxity, skin bruising, vascular disruption, and organ rupture. It presents with numerous complications, ranging from delayed gastric emptying to spontaneous rupture of blood vessels. A rare complication involves the neurological system and causes Tarlov cysts in the spinal canal. This gives rise to several symptoms, ranging from urinary and bowel incontinence to numbness and paresthesia. We report a case of an 11-year-old male with a past medical history of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, who presented with continued urinary and bowel incontinence, which was eventually found to be due to a Tarlov cyst. Although a handful of reports of Tarlov cysts exist in the literature, a presentation in a pediatric patient with a history of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is unconventional and unforeseen.

“…Dayyani et al described an 8-month-old infant who presented with irritability and unstable sitting position and was subsequently diagnosed with a Tarlov cyst. 23 McEvoy et al reported a 14-year-old girl with severe low back pain radiating to the umbilical region and occasional numbness in the right leg was diagnosed with a Tarlov cyst. Conservative treatment failed to yield a response, leading to surgical intervention.…”

Key Clinical MessageThe rare occurrence of Tarlov cysts in pediatric patients, particularly in the context of complex birth injuries, necessitates thorough evaluation and tailored management approaches. A comprehensive understanding of the clinical significance and optimal treatment strategies for this unique combination is crucial to ensure effective and individualized care for affected children.

“…A search of the literature revealed only a few reports on surgical outcome of pediatric perineural cysts [ Table 1 ]. [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 12 ] In adults, although sacral perineural cysts are usually asymptomatic, these lesions cause a variety of symptoms, including low back pain, sacrococcygeal pain, perineal pain, sciatic pain, leg weakness, neurogenic claudication, and bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction. [ 6 ] Urinary disturbance was the main symptom mentioned in the previous reports involving pediatric patients.…”

“…[ 2 , 3 , 8 , 11 ] However, only a few reports in pediatric patients have been published. [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 12 ] Moreover, there is uncertainty about the long-term outcome of surgery for these lesions in children. Here, we describe a very rare pediatric case of perineural cysts, originating in the S3 roots that manifested as severe bowel dysfunction in which a good outcome was achieved by microsurgical decompression.…”

Background: Symptomatic perineural cysts are rare in pediatric patients. Severe bowel dysfunction caused by the perineural cysts at the sacral level is particularly rare in children. Moreover, the long-term outcome of surgery for the perineural cysts in pediatric patients is uncertain. Here, we describe a rare case of perineural cysts originating in the S3 roots in a pediatric patient that manifested as severe constipation. Case Description: The case was a 13-year-old girl who presented with intractable vomiting and constipation. She also had low back and buttock pain, urinary incontinence, and periproctal sensory disturbance. Radiological studies revealed bilateral perineural cysts originating from the S3 nerve roots, which were considered to be the cause of her symptoms. Microsurgical decompression of the cysts relieved her intractable bowel dysfunction. There has been no recurrence in the 5 years since surgery. Conclusion: This case suggests that microsurgery for severe bowel dysfunction due to symptomatic perineural cysts could have a satisfactory long-term outcome in pediatric patients.
