OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the MRI features of tailgut cysts in five patients. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that MRI may be useful in the diagnosis of tailgut cyst. A multilocular cystic mass in the presacral space is a characteristic MRI finding of tailgut cyst, which may also be revealed as a cystic mass consisting of a large cyst accompanied by a small peripheral cyst. However, further studies are necessary to establish the usefulness of MRI for evaluating tailgut cysts.
