Understanding the problem
Understanding the problem
A Tarlov cyst is a dilation of a spinal nerve root sheath, in other words, the outer covering of a spinal nerve. The progressive accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid inside the nerve causes it to expand and form a cyst.
The expanded or dilated spinal nerve can then compress other nearby nerves around it and cause debilitating symptoms. They can be developed anywhere in the spine where spinal nerve roots are present, but the majority of symptomatic Tarlov cysts are found in the sacrum (base of the spine).

Dr. Frank Feigenbaum
Dr. Frank Feigenbaum is largely considered a pioneer and the world leading surgeon in the field of treating Tarlov cysts. His specialized techniques singles him out as one of a few neurosurgeons worldwide to show statistical improvements in his patients.
Since 2007, Dr. Feigenbaum has been gathering and analyzing Tarlov Cyst surgical outcomes from his surgeries in the US and with AIMIS Spine in Cyprus. To date, over 3000 Tarlov cyst patients have been involved in his study which measures and reports patient outcomes for two years post-surgery with him.
The Results?
- Exponentially significant improvements in leg pain, physical functioning, sitting time, energy, and emotional well-being
- Substantial reduction in the number of locations of pain
- Statistically lower narcotic use for pain management
The responses from the four unique self-assessments of pain, quality of life, and functionality indicated a trend toward improvement in all areas following surgery.
