Summary
This report details a rare case of an enterogenous cyst, a type of congenital abnormality, found in the upper cervical spine. Histological verification confirmed its ventrolateral placement, offering insights into rare spinal pathologies.
Area of Science:
- Medicine
- Pathology
- Neurology
Background:
- Enterogenous cysts are rare congenital anomalies, typically found in the mediastinum or abdomen.
- Cysts in the cervical region are exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and surgical challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of an enterogenous cyst in the upper cervical region.
- To highlight the histological and anatomical characteristics of this rare presentation.
Main Methods:
- A single case presentation is described.
- Histopathological examination was performed for definitive diagnosis.
Main Results:
- A ventrolaterally positioned enterogenous cyst in the upper cervical region was identified.
- Histological analysis confirmed the nature of the cyst.
Conclusions:
- This case expands the known anatomical locations for enterogenous cysts.
- Early diagnosis and surgical consideration are crucial for managing cervical enterogenous cysts.
