  • Title: Neurenteric cyst mimicking pleurodynia: an unusual case of thoracic pain in a child.
    Author: Rebhandl W, Rami B, Barcik U, Perneczky G, Horcher E.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 1998 Mar; 18(3):272-4. PubMed ID: 9568929.
    Abstract:
    This study reports an 8-year-old boy with chronic recurring thoracic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed an intradural cyst at T1-T2. Despite severe compression of the spinal cord, there was no neurologic deficit. After minimally invasive cystectomy, the patient recovered completely. Histological examination established the diagnosis of a neurenteric cyst. The clinical, pathohistologic, and radiologic aspects are discussed, and the decisive role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of intraspinal cyst is emphasized.
