Neurenteric cyst

Dr Yuranga Weerakkody and Dr Maxime St-Amant et al.

A neurenteric cyst is a type of foregut duplication cyst, associated either with vertebral abnormalities or with the central nervous system. They are usually classified as spinal or intra-cranial.

The intraspinal cysts are usually extramedullary (80%) and ventral in location. They most commonly occur in the thoracic region (42%).
