    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Lateral meningoceles, outpouchings of the meninges, are well-documented in the thorax.
    • However, lateral meningoceles in the cervical region have not been previously reported.
    • Cervical masses, including cystic hygromas, can present diagnostic challenges in infants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the first reported case of a congenital lateral meningocele in the cervical posterior triangle of an infant.
    • To discuss the diagnostic difficulties and management complications associated with this rare condition.
    • To review the differential diagnosis of cervical masses that mimic lateral meningoceles.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of an infant presenting with a cervical mass.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical examination, diagnostic imaging (details not provided in abstract).
  • Surgical excision of the mass and subsequent management of complications.

    • Main Results:

    • A lateral meningocele was identified in the cervical posterior triangle.
    • The lesion was initially clinically suspected to be a cystic hygroma.
    • Surgical management led to cerebrospinal fluid fistula and meningitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital lateral meningoceles are a rare cause of cervical masses in infants.
    • These lesions can be misdiagnosed as more common conditions like cystic hygroma.
    • Management requires careful consideration due to potential complications such as CSF fistulas and meningitis.
