Tarlov Cyst treatment

What is the best treatment for Tarlov Cyst?
i'm not sure there's a good answer for this because everybody has a different situation. My cysts were located at the base of my spine and discovered through an MRI that was ordered prior to pelvic prolapse surgery. I told my GYN doctor that I had severe low back pain and leg pain so when she saw the cysts on the MRI she referred me to a neurologist who had done Tarlov cyst removal surgery on the number of people. He typically only did surgery for people that had symptomatic pain. Dr. Schrot removed my cysts - and I would say the surgery was a success because my pain diminished immensly. You should see a neurologist to determine the best course of action for your Tarlov Cysts.
