A rare case of isolated conus medullaris neurenteric cyst

Abstract

Spinal neurenteric cysts are very rare congenital anomalies and are commonly associated with other spinal malformations. They are usually located in intradural, extramedullary location. We report a rare case of intramedullary conus medullaris neurenteric cyst without any associated spinal malformation diagnosed preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging.

Bilobed intramedullary and extramedullary bronchogenic cyst of the conus medullaris: illustrative case

“…Spinal bronchogenic cysts are rare nonneoplastic variants of neurenteric cysts usually located in the extramedullary compartment of the cervical and thoracic regions of the spinal cord. 1 – 3 We report the first case of a simultaneously intramedullary and extramedullary bronchogenic cyst of the conus medullaris.…”
