  • Title: Congenital intramedullary spinal ependymal cyst.
    Author: Sharma BS, Banerjee AK, Khosla VK, Kak VK.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1987 May; 27(5):476-80. PubMed ID: 3563862.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of congenital intramedullary ependymal cyst of the dorsal cord in a 7-year-old boy associated with kyphoscoliosis and rachidian malformations of the dorsal spine is reported. Myelography suggested an intramedullary lesion. The posterior location and presence of a clear plane of cleavage from the medullary tissue enabled total enucleation of the cyst. Histological differentiation from other similar intradural cysts is discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed. This is the fifth such case reported in the literature.
