Intrasacral meningoceles (IM) are a type of spinal meningeal cyst that can develop within the sacral spinal canal and cause sacral radiculopathy symptoms. The research on IM is sparse, comprised largely of case reviews lacking standardization with validated measures. However, a disease-specific health-related quality-of-life scale has been published for Tarlov cysts to measure symptoms before and after surgical treatment. The purpose of this study was to validate the Tarlov Cyst Quality-of-Life (TCQoL) survey as a disease-specific health-related quality-of-life measure for patients surgically treated for symptomatic IM.
