Prenatal diagnosis of mediastinal neurentric cyst with an intraspinal component.
Mediastinal neurenteric cysts are the least common types of the bronchopulmonary foregut malformations, and their antenatal diagnosis is rare. We report a case of mediastinal neurenteric cyst diagnosed on antenatal ultrasonography at 28 weeks' gestation. A small intraspinal component and vertebral segmentation anomalies were also noted. The diagnosis was confirmed on postnatal magnetic resonance imaging and at the time of operation.
