Good luck with your quest....Make certain you visit both facilities..Georgetown and Hopkins that is....I think you will find that it is good to get two opinions when it comes to the Tarlov cyst. I do not know that the doctors use very different approaches when treating the cyst. It is good to hear both approaches to treatment and listen to both docs. Both have had good and bad results with their treatments and some docs say it is best to just not do anything at all when it comes to the Tarlov cyst. Again, good luck with whatever you decide...
