“…An intramedullary location is quite rare [19,21,26] and is usually located in the upper spinal cord. Males are affected more often than females [20] , and even though the clinical onset usually appears during childhood [23] , most patients undergo operation of the cyst in adulthood, particularly during the third decade of life [22] . Usually a NC presents a long, intermittent and progressive clinical course [20] , mainly due to medullary compression.…”

The neuroenteric cyst is a rare developmental lesion originating from incomplete formation of the primitive neuroenteric canal. We report on the difficult management of an acute post-traumatic rupture of a cervical neuroenteric cyst. A 35-year-old male patient came to our observation after a spinal injury incurred during a football match. The patient immediately demonstrated tetraplegia and respiratory failure and was operated on. After two weeks the patient died of cardiopulmonary failure. High cervical neurenteric cysts, even those representing benign lesions, can produce dramatic results after a spinal injury.

“…These lesions and their clinical course are benign [25] ; their clinical onset usually appears in childhood [23] . However, most patients undergo surgical treatment in the third decade of life [22] . Posterior laminectomy is the standard surgical approach.…”

Neurenteric cysts are cystic masses lined by a columnar epithelium of endodermal origin. They are rare in the central nervous system. We report two neurenteric cysts in the posterior cranial fossa and describe their neuroradiological features. The lesions were of low density on CT and more accurately delineated on MRI. They gave the same signal as cerebrospinal fluid on all sequences. There was no contrast enhancement.
