Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Neuropathology
Neurosurgery

Background:

Neuroglial cysts are rare congenital lesions, typically found within the central nervous system, most commonly in the brain.
Spinal intramedullary neuroglial cysts are exceptionally uncommon presentations of these congenital malformations.

Observation:

A 60-year-old male presented with a year of conus medullaris compression, manifesting as paraparesis and genitourinary dysfunction.
Spinal MRI revealed an intramedullary cyst at the T12-L1 level, consistent with a neuroglial cyst.

Findings:

Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a neuroglial cyst following surgical evacuation and marsupialization.
Postoperative imaging showed a persistent residual cavity, indicating the difficulty of complete resection.

Implications:

This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by spinal intramedullary neuroglial cysts.
Complete surgical resection of these benign lesions is often difficult due to the lack of a clear cleavage plane.
