Summary

A rare enterogenous cyst in the craniocervical region caused spinal cord compression, leading to severe limb weakness. Surgical removal of the cyst resulted in a full recovery, highlighting the importance of timely intervention for such neurological conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Enterogenous cysts are rare congenital malformations that can occur along the neuroaxis.
  • Craniocervical junction cysts pose a diagnostic challenge due to their location and potential for severe neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with quadriparesis, predominantly affecting the upper limbs, indicative of significant neurological compromise.
  • Imaging revealed a high-attenuation intradural extramedullary mass at the anterior craniocervical region.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) precisely delineated the cyst's extent from the pontomedullary junction to the C2 vertebra.
  • The cyst caused significant anterior compression and mass effect on the medulla and upper cervical spinal cord.

Implications:

  • Complete surgical excision of the enterogenous cyst led to a full neurological recovery in the patient.
  • This case underscores the efficacy of surgical intervention for symptomatic craniocervical enterogenous cysts.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for preventing irreversible neurological damage.
