A rare neurenteric cyst near the brain stem and upper spinal cord was successfully removed using a transoral approach in a 40-year-old male patient. This case highlights a minimally invasive surgical option for such complex lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Spinal Cord Surgery

Background:

  • Neurenteric cysts are rare congenital anomalies arising from developmental errors during notochord formation.
  • These cysts can occur along the spinal axis, including the craniocervical junction, posing significant surgical challenges due to proximity to vital structures.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old male presented with a neurenteric cyst situated anterior to the brain stem and C1-C2 spinal cord levels.
  • The cyst's location presented a high risk for neurological compromise.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the neurenteric cyst was successfully achieved via a transoral approach.
  • The transoral approach provided direct access to the anterior craniocervical region, facilitating complete cyst removal.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of the transoral approach for managing anterior neurenteric cysts at the craniocervical junction.
  • Minimally invasive techniques like the transoral approach may offer improved outcomes and reduced morbidity for selected spinal cord lesions.
