Intraspinal neurenteric cysts are rare congenital cystic lesions, formed due to displacement of elements forming the alimentary canal. We report an 11-month-old infant presenting with a soft, fluctuant and transilluminant swelling posterior to the anus since birth; the size of the swelling varied with alterations in intraspinal pressure subsequent to crying, coughing, or sneezing. MRI showed a multiloculated lesion anterior to the sacrum and coccyx. Near total excision was carried out without any worsening in the neurological status.
椎管内神经肠囊肿是一种罕见的先天性囊性病变，由形成消化道的组织移位所致。我们报告一例11个月大的婴儿，自出生以来肛门后方出现一个柔软、波动且透光的肿胀物；肿胀物的大小随哭闹、咳嗽或打喷嚏后椎管内压力的变化而改变。磁共振成像显示骶骨和尾骨前方有一个多房性病变。进行了近全切手术，神经功能状态未出现任何恶化。
