Neurenteric cysts are rare, congenital lesions of the spinal axis composed of endodermal tissue arising from poor segmentation of the notochord. A 36-year-old patient presented with arm paresthesias and incontinence with imaging revealing a lesion in the C6-C7 region most consistent with neurenteric cyst. After partial resection of the lesion, the patient regained all neurological function. Here, we provide a brief overview of this rare neuropathologic entity and demonstrate surgical resection of neurenteric cyst through operative video.
神经管囊肿是一种罕见的脊柱先天性病变，由脊索分割不良产生的内胚层组织构成。一名36岁患者出现手臂感觉异常和大小便失禁，影像学检查显示C6 - C7区域有一病变，最符合神经管囊肿。病变部分切除后，患者所有神经功能得以恢复。在此，我们简要概述这一罕见的神经病理学实体，并通过手术视频展示神经管囊肿的手术切除过程。
