“…Intramedullary arachnoid cysts are even less common [3,4,5]. The exact mechanism of the formation of these cysts is still unknown, but several theories have been postulated [1, 2, 5, 6]. Some authors believe that intradural arachnoid cysts arise from the septum posticum, which is the structure that divides the posterior subarachnoid space in the midline and extends from the cervical to the lower thoracic region.…”

“…Only 20% are ventrally located [3]. Spinal intramedullary arachnoid cysts involving the cervical region, as in our case, are extremely rare [1, 2]. Lee and Cho [5] reviewed 10 symptomatic cervical spinal intradural arachnoid cysts of which 8 were in the pediatric age group, and none was of the intramedullary type.…”

“…The etiology of this lesion is still unclear [3,4,5, 11], but it may occur following trauma or hemorrhage, infective and chemical meningitis secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage, contrast media, spinal anesthetic agent and spinal surgery [1,2,3, 5, 10]. …”

“…Trabecular cells degenerate, and increased pressure builds up within the cyst. The increased pressure and oncotic effect result in transudation, and the cyst fills with fluid [1, 2, 10]. …”

“…Symptomatic intramedullary cervical spinal arachnoid cyst is extremely rare. We are aware of two previously published cases of cervical spinal intramedullary arachnoid cyst in childhood [1, 2]. The origin of these cysts remains unclear; however, congenital, traumatic, and inflammatory causes have been postulated [1,2,3].…”

The authors report a 7-year-old girl who presented with progressive quadriparesis which had started a month before admission. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed an intramedullary cystic lesion extending from C₂ to C₄. After performing a C_2–5 laminectomy, the cyst was drained and anatomically fenestrated with the subarachnoid space by a 1-cm vertical median myelotomy without using a stent. The histopathological findings revealed arachnoid cyst. In the first month after operation, the neurological deficits disappeared gradually, except for a slight left upper paresis. Cervical spinal intramedullary arachnoid cyst is extremely rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intramedullary cystic lesions in childhood. Recovery is possible after subtotal excision and fenestration of the cyst to allow communication with the subarachnoid space even if neurological deficits are present for a long time.

Association of colonic atresia and Hirschsprung’s disease in the newborn: report of a new case and review of the literature

et al. 2005

Colonic atresia (CA) is an infrequent cause of lower gastrointestinal obstruction in the neonate. Coexistence with aganglionosis of the colon (Hirschsprung's disease) has been reported but is generally not recognized in the neonatal period. We report another case and present a review of the literature. A boy with a lower gastrointestinal obstruction, caused by a CA type III, had creation of a proximal colostomy and a distal mucous fistula on the 1st day of life. In the preoperative work-up before restoring the continuity, rectal suction biopsies revealed the presence of Hirschsprung's disease. When the boy was 6 months old, a distal colectomy and reanastomosis were done. Creation of a colostomy and reanastomosis in a second procedure is recommended for treating a type III CA unless distal aganglionosis has been ruled out.
