Intradural neurenteric cyst at the craniovertebral junction.
A case of an intraspinal neurenteric cyst at the craniovertebral junction in a 7-year-old girl is reported. The intermittent progression of her neurological symptoms delayed the diagnosis. The location and cystic nature of the lesion were diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging. Total surgical excision of the cyst was possible.
