Endodermal cysts are rare forms of benign tumors that comprise about 0.01% of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors. They are found in cranial and/or spinal locations. The posterior approach to the spinal cord is generally the approach of choice for safe resection of those lesions. We report on a thoracic endodermal cyst that was surgically resected using an anterior approach to the spinal cord.
内胚层囊肿是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，约占所有中枢神经系统（CNS）肿瘤的0.01%。它们可发生于颅骨和/或脊柱部位。脊髓后路通常是安全切除这些病变的首选方法。我们报告一例采用脊髓前路手术切除的胸段内胚层囊肿。
