The use of direct intra-operative Doppler ultrasonography in carotid thromboendarteriectomy. A prospective study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Tarlov cysts (TCs) are expanded nerve root sheaths that occur near the dorsal root ganglion and result from increased intraspinal hydrostatic pressure. TCs most frequently affect the lumbosacral plexus and therefore may cause specific symptoms such as perineal pain and neurogenic bladder, bowel, and sphincte...
