Neurenteric Cyst of the Craniocervical Junction in an Infant -Case Report-

Bronchogenic cyst of the craniocervical junction: a case report.

Intracranial bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are uncommon, and BCs at the craniocervical junction are extremely rare. These lesions are most frequently encountered in the cervico-thoracic region of the spine. Their pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Regardless of the surgical approach, the aim of surgery should be total removal of the cyst and its content, whenever feasible. In this case report,...

Extra Axial Hyperdense Neurenteric Cyst at Craniocervical Junction: A Diagnostic & Surgical Challenge

Neurenteric cysts are rare congenital benign lesions of the central nervous system. These are essentially congenital endodermal cysts. Neurenteric cysts are seen more frequently in the spine than the brain (3:1), in particular involving the lower cervical/upper thoracic spine. Neurenteric cysts represent 0.31.3% of all intra spinal cystic lesions and are extremely rare intra cranially [1]. In t...

True intraspinal neurenteric cyst in the lumbosacral region--case report.

No motor weakness was found in the bilateral lower extremities. He had also suffered dysesthesia in the bilateral feet for several weeks before admission. Lumbar spine magnetic ...
