Neurenteric cyst of the craniovertebral junction: Report of 2 cases
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Neurenteric cysts at the craniovertebral junction are extremely rare, in that, most are located ventrally in the midline. We report two patients with neurenteric cysts in an unusual location – the lateral craniovertebral junction. The embryological basis, clinical features, imaging characteristics and management options in these patients have been discussed.
