Child with progressive limb weakness caused by a neuroenteric cyst in the cervical segment: A case report

This case suggests that although neuroenteric cysts are rare in children, their possibility should be considered in cases of neck pain accompanied by neurological dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging is the main diagnostic method, and complete surgical resection is currently the most effective treatment method. Intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring helps reduce the risk of neurological injury. The purpose and significance of this study lie in enhancing the understanding of neuroenteric cyst disease, improving the diagnostic rate, and reducing postoperative complications.
