Abstract
SCHUMACHER, Francisco E; MORMANDI, Rubén and RUBEL, Iván F. Quiste neuroentérico intradural: Reporte de un caso. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2017, vol.82, n.1, pp.59-64. ISSN 1852-7434.
Spinal neurenteric cyst is a rare lesion, only anecdotal case reports have been published. The neurenteric cyst accounts for 0.3 to 1.3% of spinal axis tumors. It affects the inferior cervical and superior thoracic spine level. Approximately 90% of neurenteric cysts are located in the intradural/extramedullary compartment while the remaining10% are divided between an intradural/intramedullary or extradural location. Surgical intervention with radical resection is the best treatment. The outcome is favorable and the recurrence rates after partial resection are low.
