What is the prevalence of Tarlov Cyst?
How many people does Tarlov Cyst affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
Estimated is that about 1% of the population have symptomatic Tarlov cysts.

Since it is a rare disease I would not go off the statistics on the sites I have read. More women are treated than men. Without doing more studies with larger groups in the studies there is no way of really telling if the supposed precentages or true.

Incidence and Prevalence. Small, asymptomatic Tarlov cysts are actually present in an estimated 5 to 9 percent of the general population. However, large cysts that cause symptoms are relatively rare.

Tarlov Cyst Disease is classified as a rare disease but affects people in every country. About 100,000 people are affected worldwide with symptomatic TCD. 3-6% of those affected have them in their cervical spine.

That is not specific known. Prevelence is higher than the symptomacitc cysts.
Resarch on this speak about 1% of the world population who are symptomatic. Recent study says that somthing about a bit more of 4% of the cysts found are symptomatic.

Het is niet precies bekend hoe vaak Tarlov cysten voorkomen. Op grond van gegevens uit de medische literatuur worden deze cysten vermoedelijk jaarlijks bij zo’n 2.000-2.500 mensen vastgesteld.

The incidence of Tarlov cysts is 5-9% and most of them are asymptomatic, usually detected as incidental findings on MRI. Symptomatic Tarlov cysts are believed to be extremely rare, commonly presenting as sacral or lumbar pain syndromes, sciatica or rarely as cauda equina syndrome. However, in the Tarlov community we have found that TCD is extremely under diagnosed because radiologists report them as incidental findings and doctors ignore them as a possible source of pain. Because of this patients may go years or even decades without a diagnosis or treatment leading to permanent nerve damage, opioid addiction and severe depression!

Is low but probably because is a under diagnose condition and 99% of the doctors assume they are assimptomaric
