The spine is the most important element of the skeleton, fulfilling many vital functions in the body. From his condition depends the work of both individual organs and the body as a whole.
Recommendations on how to avoid various diseases or injuries of the spine on the Internet abound, however, there are such pathologies, the development of which in some cases the person can not influence or the result of the intervention will be insignificant.
It is a question of neoplasms in the spine, tumors. There are two types of tumors: benign and malignant.
The causes and prerequisites for their occurrence are many: an incorrect, sedentary lifestyle, a genetic predisposition, various pathologies in the development of the musculoskeletal system, radioactive radiation, prolonged stay in places with adverse environmental conditions.
The method of treatment is most often surgical intervention, which can solve the problem in a complex way. Also used are medications that differ in strength and mechanism of action. It all depends on the type of neoplasm.
Definition and causes of
The perineural cyst of the spine is called a tumor, outwardly resembling a small air bubble.
Inside it is filled with cerebrospinal fluid( cerebrospinal fluid) and is located mainly in the lower parts of the spine, it is often noted that this neoplasm is present in the cervical region.
Very often, the causes of perineural cysts are various injuries and spinal injuries, as well as inflammatory processes in the body. 
It should be noted that there are cases when this disease has a pathological character and manifests itself in the form of a hernia. The mechanism of this cyst is quite simple: due to external influence, the base of the spinal nerve expands, it is filled with liquid and exerts a high pressure on it.
In the presence of trauma, the enlarged nerve prevents normal circulation of the CSF.It is noteworthy that according to various research centers, the presence of perineural cyst is diagnosed in about 7% of the world's population, most often in women.
Statistics are given in light forms of the cyst, when it is small and does not cause significant harm to the quality of life.
Symptomatic and signs of
formation The perineural cyst is almost not manifested by specific symptoms until it reaches a certain size.
With the gradual accumulation of fluid in the neoplasm, its growth takes place. At a certain point, upon reaching clinical volumes, the tumor begins to press on a network of very sensitive nerve endings that surround the spinal cord along its entire length.
This causes extremely unpleasant pain in the lumbar and cervical region, as well as in the extremities.
Often, the pain syndrome is accompanied by so-called paresthesias( sensation of "goosebumps" on the skin) and impaired functions of the internal organs, mainly in the pelvic region.
This can cause a breakdown in the bowel. If the cyst appeared due to the disease of the spine( with the accompanying inflammatory process), and not as a pathology, the pain syndrome will constantly increase.
This is due to the increasing tumor pressure on the nerve endings. A strong pain syndrome can become a serious obstacle to timely diagnosis of the disease, as the patient complains of the presence of symptoms associated with a number of other diseases.

Osteochondrosis with a perineural cyst often becomes the primary diagnosis, and not a consequence of other effects on the body.
To accurately determine the presence of cysts in the body, use computer or magnetic resonance imaging. The study with conventional X-rays in this case will be completely inconclusive.
Complex of therapeutic measures
Treatment of the perineural cyst of the spine should be complex. If the disease has no clinical significance( this is observed quite often), then it is recommended to observe the specialist without direct treatment.
In other cases, surgical intervention is necessary. Its goal is to remove the accumulated fluid from the tumor and thereby provide decompression to the nerve endings around the spinal cord.
After carrying out manipulations on pumping out of a liquid, it is necessary to provide a cohesion of a cavity of a cyst, it will prevent repeated formation of illness. For this purpose, use special fibrin glue.
It is made from components of animal and human blood. In some cases, additional measures are required, in the form of removing the root of the cyst.
It is important to know that in case of small size and lack of clear clinical manifestations, surgical intervention not only not 
will bring benefits, but may entail some complications.
The fact is that when the tumor is dissected, a leakage of the liquid contained in it can occur. Often this causes the appearance of bacterial meningitis.
In addition to the traditional methods of treating this disease, there are also traditional ones. In folk medicine, for the elimination of tumors, the juice of burdock, tinctures from elecampane and various medicinal herbal preparations( oregano, walnut leaves, sorrel, etc.) are used.
. Rehabilitation period
. Rehabilitation after an operation on the spine is designed to return a person to a normal, healthyway of life.
It's not just about recovering in the physical sense, but also in psycho-emotional. Operative intervention is a serious process, accompanied by many traumatic factors.
Rehabilitation is complex, symptomatic. In addition to medicamental treatment, physiotherapy, curative gymnastics, and small physical exercises are designed to gradually incorporate the spine into the work.
Prevention of neoplasms
In order to prevent this disease, it is recommended that the patient's lifestyle be changed to a more relaxed one. It is necessary to exclude large loads on the lumbar and cervical spine.
This exercise will be very useful, especially those that have a strengthening effect on the body, however, this issue must be agreed with the doctor in charge.
Proper nutrition, high in calcium, phosphorus and proteins is very important. All bad habits, especially alcohol and smoking, need to be eliminated completely.
Perineural cyst is a very common type of neoplasm of the spine. Modern medicine successfully fights against its negative manifestations.
The main condition for this is attention to one's health on the part of patients, as well as an accurate diagnosis of the disease.
If necessary, surgical intervention, it is necessary to verify the high qualification of the treating specialist, since any operations on the spine are more complicated and involve risks.
