Summary

A rare high cervical intramedullary ependymal cyst in a young boy, associated with atlantoaxial dislocation, required radical total resection after initial partial removal and marsupialization due to recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Spinal Cord Pathology

Background:

  • Intramedullary ependymal cysts are rare spinal cord tumors, particularly in the high cervical region.
  • Atlantoaxial dislocation is a condition involving instability of the upper cervical spine.

Observation:

  • A young boy presented with a rare high cervical intramedullary ependymal cyst.
  • The cyst was associated with significant atlantoaxial dislocation.

Findings:

  • Initial surgical management involved partial removal and marsupialization of the cyst.
  • The ependymal cyst demonstrated recurrence following the initial partial resection.

Implications:

  • Radical total resection is necessary for definitive management of recurrent high cervical intramedullary ependymal cysts.
