Résumé

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.
