tarlov cyst at S2-S5 level
The patient underwent S2-S4 laminotomy using a Piezo drill. The cyst was
exposed, which was then followed by fenestration of the cyst with
plugging of the communicating part(fig 2). Cyanoacrylate glue was used
to reinforce the plugging. Laminoplasty was then done using mini plates
and screws. The symptoms gradually improved after the surgery, and she
was discharged on the 5th postoperative day.
