[5] Symptoms, if they do occur, are usually related to large hemangiomas, trauma, the hormonal and hemodynamic changes of pregnancy (causing intra-spinal bleeding), or osseous expansion and extra-osseous extension into surround soft tissues or epidural region of the spinal canal.
This sign is most commonly identified on lateral radiographs or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine and is an important diagnostic marker for benign conditions such as vertebral hemangiomas. Patients with the typical ‘corduroy appearance’ is extremely rare clinically. [2]

Tarlov cysts, are type II innervated meningeal cysts, cerebrospinal-fluid-filled (CSF) sacs most frequently located in the spinal canal of the sacral region of the spinal cord (S1–S5) and much less often in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine. They can be distinguished from other meningeal cysts by their nerve-fiber-filled walls.
