Intracranial neurenteric cysts: imaging and pathology spectrum.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial neurenteric (NE) cysts are rare congenital lesions that may be mistaken for other, more common non-neoplastic cysts as well as cystic neoplasms. We delineate the imaging spectrum, pathologic findings, and differential diagnosis of NE cysts. METHODS History, imaging, surgical and pathologic findings were analyzed retrospectively in 18 patients with intracran...
متن کاملNeurenteric cysts of the spinal cord mimicking multiple sclerosis.
A 54-year-old man died following a 20-year course of intermittent neurologic symptoms. He carried a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, with most severe involvement thought to be in the spinal cord. At autopsy, two neurenteric (enterogenous) cysts were found to indent the anterior spinal cord -- at the T4 and T11 cord levels. Partial diplomyelia was present in the lumbo-sacral cord. These findings...
متن کاملPosterior Fossa Neurenteric Cysts Can Expand Rapidly: Case Report
Neurenteric cysts are considered congenital lesions that may slowly expand over time. Although more commonly found in the spinal canal, they may be found intracranially, particularly in the posterior fossa. Here, we present an unusual case of a large, rapidly expanding histologically confirmed posterior fossa neurenteric cyst in a 53-year-old woman, who presented with quadriparesis. Computed to...
متن کاملAneurysmal Bone Cysts of the Spine
Aneurysmal bone cysts are uncommon lesions, especially in the spine. Seventy-eight cases have been previously documented in the English literature and an additional fourteen cases are now reported. There is a definite predilection for the lumbar region and the neural arch is the part of the vertebra most commonly affected. It is recommended that treatment should consist of total excision or whe...
متن کاملNeuroimaging features of neurenteric cysts: analysis of nine cases and review of the literature.
PURPOSE To gain a better understanding of neurenteric (NE) cysts via correlation of imaging findings and surgical and pathologic data. METHODS The medical records, imaging studies, surgical information, and pathologic material were retrospectively reviewed in nine patients with NE cysts, including seven proved and two very probable cases. RESULTS NE cysts occurred in the cerebellopontine an...
