“…MRI showed 2 different cyst locations (cervical and thoracic) in different planes: the cervical cyst was dorsally located and the lower one ventrally. Intracranial locations have also been described in the literature [7]. Secondary spread of NEC following treatment of a primary lesion has also been reported in the literature [6], but multiple primary lesions occurring at same time are uncommon.…”

Multiple Neurenteric Cysts along the Spinal Axis of an Infant: A Rare Entity

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A spinal neurenteric cyst is a rare entity. It commonly presents already at 5 weeks of age up to the 6th decade of life. The most common location is the cervical region followed by thoracic and lumbosacral regions. We report a 9-month-old male infant with sudden onset of weakness in both lower limbs. MRI revealed 2 cystic lesions at cervical and thoracic level with spinal cord compression. He underwent laminectomy and excision of the cervical lesion. The child improved significantly. The postoperative MRI shows complete excision of a dorsal lesion and presence of a cervical lesion. Later, he underwent cervical laminotomy and partial wall excision followed by shunt placement. The histopathological report revealed a neurenteric cyst. Two neurenteric cysts presented in the neuroaxis of the same patient: one was located ventral (thoracic) and the other dorsal (cervical). At the 2-year follow-up, the child was active and walking without support. Multiple cystic lesions in the neuroaxis can be neurenteric cysts.

“…[2] They are usually encountered as extra-axial lesions and rarely associated with hemorrhage. We described a case of intraparenchymal EC with intracystic hemorrhage in the temporal lobe, which is the first report of this kind to our knowledge.…”

“…Other symptoms include gait dysfunction, ataxia, and motor, sensory, and memory disturbances. [2,6] These signs may result from mass effect, inflammation, or irritation of adjacent brain tissues. [2] Supratentorial ECs are reported to have a larger size and later onset of symptoms than those in the posterior fossa.…”

“…CNS ECs mostly occur in the subdural space of the spinal cord [1] ; intracranial ECs are very rare and commonly situated in the posterior cranial fossa as extra-axial lesions, [2] whereas an intraparenchymal location is extremely rare. The cyst requires a complete removal and any residue can lead to recurrence.…”

Background:Endodermal cysts (EC) are rare but well-known congenial lesions of the central nervous system mainly located in the spinal subdural space. Intracranial ECs are rare and commonly encountered in the posterior cranial fossa as extra-axial lesions; an intraparenchymal location is exceedingly rare. A complete removal is the best surgical strategy and any residue can cause recurrence. It is necessary to exclude EC in patients with intracranial cystic lesions. We present a case of intraparenchymal EC with spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage in the temporal lobe of an adult.Methods:A 43-year-old man presented with headache and memory deterioration. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a slightly enhanced temporal lobe cystic lesion, which was homogenously hyperintense on T1-and T2-weighted images. There was a suspicion of brain abscess at admission. The lesion was totally removed with a left subtemporal craniotomy. Histological examination revealed an EC with intracystic hemorrhage.Results:The preoperative symptoms were relieved after surgery and 3-month follow-up magnetic resonance imaging found no cystic signs.Conclusion:This case suggests that EC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intracranial cystic lesions and a complete removal is the best strategy of choice.
