Doody,
I had an MRI of the lumbar spine and it was found at S2. Though most common in the sacaral area, they have been found in other areas of the spine as well. Tarlov cysts are rather rare, but most often the radiologists just do not report on them, they ignore them. If you find that you have one you then need to find a neurosurgeon that believes they cause pain. I had to go to Hopkins for treatment...I will post more information for you to read...
