In the magnetic resonance imaging study, the lesion C2-C3 was homogeneously hyperintense on T1- and T2-weighted images. There was no restriction on diffusion-weighted imaging, with severe spinal cord compression. Surgery was suggested to remove the cyst to avoid potential neurological complications. C1-C2-C3 laminotomy and microsurgical excision of the lesion were the chosen paths. The cyst was dissected and revealed a light gray appearance and a content of clear hyaline fluid, suggestive of an arachnoid cyst. A histopathological examination of the cyst wall identified images suggestive of NC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The definitive diagnosis depends on the association between clinical findings, radiological study, and anatomopathological confirmation, which is an indispensable step in differentiating NC from other congenital or acquired conditions of the spinal canal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_183_2026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]],"date-time":"2026-06-05T09:21:34Z","timestamp":1780651294000},"page":"342","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Neuroenteric cyst simulating an arachnoid cyst: A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ot\u00e1vio da Cunha","family":"Ferreira Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anatomy, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto Medical School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murillo Henrique","family":"Martins Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anatomy, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto Medical School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro Silvino Jos\u00e9","family":"De Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medical Sciences, University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucas Bezerra de","family":"Melo Botelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medical Sciences, University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denylson Sanches","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anatomy, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto Medical School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo Santos","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anatomy, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto Medical School, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_183_2026\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"511","DOI":"10.3171\/2013.1.PEDS1290","article-title":"Neurosurgical management of neurenteric cysts in children","volume":"11","author":"Al-Ahmed","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Pediatr"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_183_2026\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"408","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1806727","article-title":"Isolated intramedullary spinal neurenteric cysts: Case report and literature review","volume":"20","author":"Buddappa","year":"2025","journal-title":"Asian J Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_183_2026\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2016.08.089","article-title":"Neurenteric cyst or neuroendodermal cyst?
