Can patients with symptomatic Tarlov cysts be differentiated from patients with specific low back pain based on comprehensive history taking?

abstract：BACKGROUND:The exact aetiology, growth and rupture of intracranial aneurysms is unclear. In this study we investigated a possible association between intracranial aneurysm rupture and polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T.
