This review highlights neurenteric cystic lesions in seven patients, revealing diverse gastrointestinal, vertebral, and neural canal abnormalities. These findings suggest a broader clinical spectrum for these rare congenital conditions than previously understood.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Neurenteric cystic lesions are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They can involve the gastrointestinal tract, vertebrae, and neural canal.
  • Associated congenital anomalies are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cases of neurenteric cystic lesions.
  • To describe the range of associated vertebral and intraspinal abnormalities.
  • To broaden the understanding of the clinical spectrum of these lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Case review of seven patients with cystic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Analysis of associated vertebral anomalies and neural canal connections.
  • Clinical and radiological assessment of patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Seven patients presented with diverse cystic lesions, vertebral anomalies, and neural connections.
  • Mediastinal masses, intestinal duplication cysts, and dorsal enteric cysts were observed.
  • Two of seven patients with significant congenital anomalies died neonatally; others recovered well.

Conclusions:

  • Neurenteric cystic lesions present a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal, vertebral, and intraspinal abnormalities.
  • The clinical presentation is more varied than commonly recognized.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.
