Neuroenteric Cyst of Cervical Spine
Neuroenteric cysts (NCs) of the spinal cord are rare benign tumors which can progressively lead to cord compression and associated features such as parasthesia, weakness, and paralysis. The below-mentioned case discusses about a 39-year-old female patient with NC at the level of C6, C7, and D1 diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging, followed by surgical excision of the tumor. Histopathology reports suggested NC. Following the surgery, the patient showed significant improvement in neurological symptoms within a week. This case report emphasizes on the importance of clinical examination, radiological examination, and surgical management with appropriate follow-up for NC.
