Lateral cervical meningocele is a rare developmental anomaly presenting as a C2-3 intervertebral foramen protrusion. Diagnosis via CT scan and treatment with a lumboperitoneal shunt or surgical closure are recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lateral cervical meningocele is an exceptionally rare congenital condition.
  • This anomaly involves protrusion through the intervertebral foramen, specifically noted at C2-3 in this case.
  • Differential diagnosis includes extradural cysts and cystic hygromas, necessitating accurate identification.

Observation:

  • A unique case of lateral cervical meningocele was observed protruding from an enlarged C2-3 intervertebral foramen.
  • Potential complications from invasive procedures like direct needling (infection, meningitis) or incision/drainage (CSF fistula) were noted.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scanning is identified as the optimal imaging modality for confirming and localizing lateral cervical meningocele.

  • The study highlights the diagnostic utility of CT in differentiating this rare condition from similar pathologies.

    • Implications:

    • Avoidance of direct needling and incision/drainage is crucial to prevent serious complications such as meningitis or cerebrospinal fluid fistula.
    • Recommended management strategies include lumboperitoneal shunt placement or watertight dural sac closure at the cervical spine.
    • This case underscores the importance of advanced imaging and careful procedural planning for managing lateral cervical meningoceles.
