BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The physiopathology of Tarlov or perineural cyst (PC) symptoms is unknown, but probably its filling and distention with spinal cerebrospinal fluid makes them symptomatic. The objective of this study is to describe the endoscope-assisted obliteration of the communication between PCs and the spinal subarachnoid space (SSS). PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2007 to 2011, four male and two female patients (median age: 45 years) with PCs were treated. They complained of lumbar, sciatic, and/or perineal pain. Physical examination was normal. The diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All the cysts were located in the midline between S1 and S3. An endoscope-assisted obliteration between PC and SSS was performed. The outcome was evaluated clinically with the Odom scale and radiologically with an MRI. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 25.83 months, the outcome was excellent (four cases), good (one case), and poor (one case). There were no complications. The postoperative MRI showed size and signal intensity changes in all PCs reflecting their exclusion from the SSS. CONCLUSIONS The endoscope-assisted obliteration of the communication between PCs and the SSS is a simple technique that rendered excellent to good results in 83% of the cases.

Objectives To compare the posterolateral Wiltse approach and conventional Midline approach in short lumbosacral fusions in terms of the angle of convergence of pedicle screws. Methods We retrospectively reviewed computed tomography (CT) images of 76 lumbar and sacral pedicular screws that had been placed using a conventional midline approach (CA) (n = 38) and a Wiltse posterolateral approach (WA) (n = 38). All patients underwent short lumbosacral fusions from L3 to S1 for degenerative spinal disease. Screws with a bone gap >4 mm in any direction, cases with previous pedicular implants, and those with coronal plane curves >20° were excluded. Results Considering all implants, the angle of convergence was 23.3° (±15.8). The mean angulation in the WA group was 29.3° (±9.7), whereas in the CA group it was 17.2° (±0.6). This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions In short, lumbosacral fusion employing the Wiltse approach allowed placement of pedicle implants with more convergence than the conventional midline approach. The clinical relevance of this is unknown, and prospective randomized studies are needed to clarify this.Resumen Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar, en fusiones lumbosacras cortas, el ángulo de convergencia de los tornillos pediculares entre el abordaje posterolateral tipo Wiltse y el abordaje mediano convencional. Método: Se revisaron en forma retrospectiva los controles en tomografía axial computada (TAC) de 76 tornillos pediculares lumbares y sacros colocados por vía posterior, mediante un abordaje mediano convencional (n: 38) o por vía posterolateral transmuscular tipo Wiltse (n: 38). Se incluyeron fusiones lumbosacras cortas desde L3 a S1, en pacientes adultos, con patología degenerativa. Se excluyeron los tornillos con una brecha ósea >4 mm en cualquier dirección, los casos con instrumentaciones pediculares previas y aquellos con curvas en el plano coronal mayores de 20°. Resultados: Considerando la totalidad de los implantes, el ángulo de convergencia fue de 23,3° (+/- 15,82). La angulación promedio, en el grupo AW, fue de 29,3° (+/- 9,72). En el grupo AC, el grado de convergencia de los implantes fue de 17,2° (+/- 10,58). Esta diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa (P < 0,0001). Para el grupo AW, el grado de convergencia según nivel fue el siguiente: L3: 31,2° (+/- 1,9); L4: 31,4° (+/- 2,76); L5: 31,1° (+/- 5,62); S1: 24,2° (+/- 12,16). El promedio del ángulo del tornillo según nivel para el grupo AC fue: L3: 16° (+/- 7,16); L4: 20,3° (+/- 6,9) L5: 15,9° (+/- 13,38); S1: 15,2° (+/- 14,32). Los implantes del grupo AW tuvieron ángulos significativamente más convergentes que el grupo AC en todos los segmentos explorados. Conclusión: En las fusiones lumbosacras cortas, la utilización del abordaje tipo Wiltse permitió la colocación de tornillos pediculares con más convergencia que en el abordaje mediano convencional. La relevancia clínica de este hecho es desconocida y se requerirían trabajos prospectivos randomizados para determinar la misma.
