MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING FINDINGS OF TAILGUT CYST: CASE SERIES
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 22
Abstract
Tailgut cysts are congenital lesions, located in the retrorectal space that originate from the tailgut embryologically. It is common in women and generally occurs in the fourth decade. The majority of cases are asymptomatic and incidentally detected during routine examinations. Tailgut cysts can rarely cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, perirectal pain, constipation, or dysmenorrhea. Major complications include anorectal fistula, perirectal abscess, and malignant transformation developed from the cyst wall. In this case series three cases are presented. These are respevtively; a 35-year-old woman with a long-standing complaint of occasional cramp-like abdominal pain and constipation, a 52-year-old woman with a continuing abdominal pain that radiates to the pelvic and perineal region for the last six months, and a 25-year-old woman with a continuing abdominal pain that occurs in the pelvic area and radiates to the groin for a year. Postoperative histopathological examination results of the cases came in line with the tailgut cyst and magnetic resonance imaging findings were confirmed
