Thecaloscopy Reduces the Risk of Recurrent Perineural (Tarlov) Cysts after Microsurgical Resection.

Sacral Tarlov cysts (TCs), often asymptomatic, can cause significant pain and severe neurological dysfunction. Conventional treatments are generally associated with high recurrence and complication rates. Specifically, the substantial recurrence rates, which can reach as high as 50%, significantly impact long-term outcomes.

LOH on 10p14-p15 targets the PFKFB3 gene locus in human glioblastomas.

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome arm 10p is very common in high-grade gliomas and is, among others, concentrated on the region 10p14-p15. Presence of multiple tumor suppressor genes is assumed, but until now only Krüpple-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) has been suggested as possible target of LOH in this region. On the basis of the fact that the splice variant 4 (UBI2K4) of the PFKFB3 gene, located in 10p15.
