Abstract:
Neurenteric cyst represents a rare cystic lesion of the central nervous system, and is generally thought to result from failure of separation of neuro-ectodermal and endodermal elements during week 3 of embryogenesis. Although recurrences have been reported, only one case of craniospinal dissemination has previously been reported. We describe a unique intracranial neurenteric cyst with recurrence and dissemination to the spinal cord.

Brain Abscess l: Introduction
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...
Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
