Abstract

Neurenteric cysts in the anterior craniocervical junction (CCJ) region can be found in extremely rare cases. We report one case with craniocervical neurenteric cyst that was excised by the far-lateral transcondylar (FLT) approach. A 43-year-old man presented with a history of recurrent episodes of mild neck pain and dysesthesia in his bilateral hands of 2 years' duration with rapid deterioration 3 weeks prior to admission. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the CCJ region revealed a well-defined intradural cystic lesion located ventral from the pontomedullary junction to C1 vertebra with medulla and C1 cord compression. This patient underwent total excision of the lesion via the FLT approach without any postoperative neurological deficits, and the histopathologic diagnosis was neurenteric cyst. Follow-up MRI has revealed no evidence of recurrence. The clinical features, imaging studies, and surgical approach options involved in resecting craniocervical neurenteric cysts are discussed, along with a review of the literature.

Keywords: Neurenteric cyst; craniocervical junction; far-lateral transcondylar approach; microsurgery
