Neurenteric cysts (NCs) are rarely located in the dorsal craniocervical junction (CCJ).
Here, we present a case and show the surgical video of a 24-year-old man with a history of neck pain, progressive hemiparesis, and difficulty swallowing. Radiological images revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion at the dorsal CCJ. Posterior approach with C1-C2 laminectomy for resection of the lesion was performed with significant improvement in symptoms postoperatively. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of NC.
This case demonstrates a rare location of a NC in an adult patient. Complete excision of the cyst wall and its content is the recommended treatment option.
神经肠囊肿(NCs)很少位于颅颈交界区(CCJ)的背侧。
在此,我们报告一例,并展示一名24岁男性的手术视频,该患者有颈部疼痛、进行性偏瘫和吞咽困难病史。影像学检查显示在CCJ背侧有一个硬脊膜内髓外病变。采用C1-C2椎板切除术的后路手术切除病变,术后症状有显著改善。组织病理学检查确诊为神经肠囊肿。
本病例显示了神经肠囊肿在成年患者中的罕见位置。推荐的治疗选择是完整切除囊肿壁及其内容物。
