Management of a pediatric neuroenteric cyst with persistent double dorsal aortae and anterior meningocele: illustrative case
This case illustrates the importance of multispecialty collaboration, advanced imaging for preoperative planning, and thoughtful timing of intervention. A combined thoracoscopic/thoracotomy and laparoscopic approach, while surgically demanding, was safe and provided excellent visibility for complete resection of the large neuroenteric cyst. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24894.
