Spinal neurenteric cyst in association with syringomyelia: case report

Surg Neurol. 1992 Mar;37(3):202-7. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(92)90231-b.

Abstract

A case of spinal neurenteric cyst in association with Klippel-Feil deformity, spinal lipoma, and syringomyelia is presented. Neuroradiological evaluation was performed by means of magnetic resonance imaging of the spine and a computed tomography myelograph. The diagnosis of neurenteric cyst was established by histological and immunohistochemical studies. The pathogenesis of syringomyelia associated with an extramedullary mass lesion is discussed.
