title: [An hourglass-shaped enteric cyst of the cervico-thoracic region with extra- and intramedullary location].
abstract: The authors report a case of a hourglass dysontogenetic tumour in a 7-year-old girl (enteric cyst) of the spine at the cervicothoracic region coexistent with a developmental anomaly of the spine and posture anomaly. Atypical symptoms (pains) suggesting a disease of the gastrointestinal tract or heart made the diagnosis very difficult. Contrast examination of the vertebral canal made possible a correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. Microsurgical technique permitted the tumour to be removed radically.
