An intraspinal bronchogenic cyst is a rare but important cause of compressive cord myelopathy, commonly seen in the cervicothoracic spine. We report a case of a 30-year-old female, presented with complaints of neck pain and progressive weakness of the extremities. The magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed an intradural extramedullary, well-defined, multiloculated, cystic lesion in the upper cervical canal extending from the C2 to C5 vertebral levels. To our knowledge, only 11 cases of spinal bronchogenic cysts have been reported in the literature so far. We discuss the rare location of this unusual lesion, possible embryological reasons, and the overall surgical outcome.
脊髓内支气管源性囊肿是导致压迫性脊髓病的一种罕见但重要的病因，常见于颈胸段脊柱。我们报告一例30岁女性病例，患者主诉颈部疼痛及四肢进行性无力。颈椎磁共振成像显示颈段椎管内硬膜下髓外有一个边界清晰、多房的囊性病变，位于上颈椎管，从C2至C5椎体水平。据我们所知，迄今为止文献中仅报道过11例脊髓支气管源性囊肿病例。我们讨论了这种罕见病变的特殊位置、可能的胚胎学原因以及总体手术结果。
