چکیده
Spinal neurenteric cysts are rare congenital cysts of endodermal origin. A 34 years old man presented with burning feet syndrome of two years duration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intradural extramedullary cystic mass lesion extending from L2 to L5 vertebrae causing severe compression and displacement of terminal portion of conus medullaris and filum terminale to the right side. Additionally, tethered cord and filar lipoma were also present. Cystic mass and filar lipoma were resected along with release of tethered cord. Histopathology confirmed a neurenteric cyst. This case is reported in view of rare occurrence and peculiar presentation.

متن کاملAcute Tetraplegia after Trivial Neck Injury Revealed a Cervical Intraspinal Neurenteric Cyst in a Child
Neurenteric cysts (NC) are rare anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS). They result from abnormal separation of the neural tube and the endodermis during the 3rd week of gestation, which leads to the persistence of endodermal elements in the spinal cord. They usually present insidiously with local spinal pain, radiculopathy, and myelopathy. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with a ...
