Cervicothoracic Arachnoid Cyst Causing Cervical Myelopathy: A Case Report
Several types of intraspinal cyst develop within the spinal canal from the craniovertebral junction to the sacrum. These lesions occur in both children and adults. Arachnoid cysts are one of them and are more frequent in the paediatric population, being a relatively uncommon lesion in adults. The arachnoid cyst may be located intradurally or extradurally. The intradural type may be congenital o...

متن کاملNeurenteric cyst of the cervicothoracic junction: A rare cause of paraparesis in a paediatric patient.
Neurenteric cysts are rare congenital spinal masses that result from the dysgenesis of the endoderm tissue during development. We report a 4-year-old girl who presented with an insidious onset of lower limb paraparesis. An MRI scan revealed a cervicothoracic intradural extramedullary neurenteric cyst at the thoracic T1/T2 level, with marked spinal cord compression. No associated spinal dysraphi...
متن کاملIntraparenchymal supratentorial neurenteric cyst.
BACKGROUND Neurenteric cysts are congenital cysts of the central nervous system that are believed to be of endodermal origin. In this report we present the unique case of a supratentorial neurenteric cyst that is contained entirely within the brain parenchyma. METHODS A patient presented with an intraparenchymal cystic lesion that was subsequently identified as a neurenteric cyst. This lesion...
متن کاملIntramedullary neurenteric cyst associated with a tethered spinal cord: Case report and literature review
BACKGROUND Neurenteric cysts are benign tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) that represent 0.3% to 0.5% of all spinal cord tumors. They are usually extramedullary and found in the lower cervical and thoracic spine. Only 12.2% of neurenteric cysts are documented to be intramedullary. CASE DESCRIPTION The authors report a case of a 35-year-old female that presented with progressive weakn...
