  • Title: A spinal intradural enterogenous cyst with well-differentiated muscularis propria.
    Author: ten Donkelaar HJ, Willemsen MA, van der Heijden I, Beems T, Wesseling P.
    Journal: Acta Neuropathol; 2002 Nov; 104(5):538-42. PubMed ID: 12410402.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a newborn presenting with severe compression of the spinal cord due to a large, solitary mass extending from C4 to T2. Neurosurgical exploration revealed a large intradural, extramedullary cystic lesion, compressing the spinal cord. Slowly progressive respiratory failure due to severe myelopathy led to the death of the child 19 days postpartum. At autopsy, a well-differentiated enterogenous cyst was found, the cyst wall containing gastric and esophageal type mucosa, and a bona fide muscularis propria. The gastrointestinal tract was completely normal. The possible developmental history of intradural enterogenous cysts is discussed.
