Abstract:
Neurenteric cyst is an extremely rare developmental cyst of the central nervous system. It is lined withintestinal epithelium and is usually found in the subarachnoid space of the cervical and thoracic spine. We reporta case of intracranial neurenteric cyst in a 40-year-old man, and describe the MRI findings. This modality showeda large cyst, ventral to the pons and extending bilaterally to the cerebellopontine angles and craniovertebraljunction;its signal was hyperintense on both T-1and T2-weighted images and there is no enhancement on postcontrastT1-weighted images.
