description INTRODUCTION: The spinal perineurial cyst is a rare anomaly of the nervous system. It is also known as Tarlov cyst, since it was described for the first time by Isadore M. Tarlov. The pathology is defined as a cystic dilatation between the perineurium and endoneurium of spinal nerve roots, located at the level of the spinal ganglion and filled with cerebrospinal fluid but without communication with the perineurial subarachnoid space. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 56-year-old female who reported sudden onset of symptoms of a depressive symptomatology accompanied with acute pain in the lumbar area. Lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed Tarlov cysts. DISCUSSION: Radiological investigations in patients with depressive symptomatology may be substantial.
