Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Intraspinal bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations, typically found in the cervical or thoracic spine.
  • Previous literature has not documented intraspinal bronchogenic cysts in the sacral region.

Observation:

  • A 5-month-old female presented with a sacral skin dimple, indicative of a potential spinal abnormality.
  • MRI revealed a dermal sinus tract and an epidural cystic mass at the S2 vertebral level.
  • The cystic mass was surgically removed and found to be connected to the subarachnoid space via a dural pedicle.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the cystic mass as a bronchogenic cyst.
  • This case represents the first documented instance of an intraspinal bronchogenic cyst in the sacral location.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest that intraspinal bronchogenic cysts can occur in the sacral spine, broadening their known anatomical distribution.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare congenital lesions in the differential diagnosis of spinal abnormalities in infants.
  • Further research may be needed to understand the embryological basis for sacral intraspinal bronchogenic cysts.
