Here, we introduce a rare case of successfully treated glioependymal cysts lying in an uncommon location, namely medulla oblongata.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 69-year-old lady presented with progressive unsteadiness and swallowing disturbances, and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a dorsally located lesion within the medulla oblongata; based on the presentation and radiological features, surgical intervention was deemed mandatory. The suboccipital midline approach was used to perform marsupialization of the cyst with shunting through a syringosubarachnoid shunt to prevent future recurrence, and the patient outcome was improved.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Medulla Oblongata\u2019s location for glioependymal cysts proposed unique diagnostic and operative challenges that may require highlighting for practicing neurosurgeons.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_611_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]],"date-time":"2023-12-15T11:22:39Z","timestamp":1702639359000},"page":"432","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Glioependymal cyst in the medulla oblongata \u2013 A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Awfa Aktham","family":"Abdulateef","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuhei","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samer S.","family":"Hoz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oday","family":"Atallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinichi","family":"Numazawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasunobu","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sadayoshi","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kentaro","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo General Hospital, Nakano, Tokyo, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_611_2023\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198407000-00017","article-title":"Neuroepithelial cysts of the posterior fossa: Pathogenesis and report of two cases","volume":"15","author":"Andrews","year":"1984","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_611_2023\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.8.PEDS19317","article-title":"Glioependymal cyst on the third cranial nerve: Case report","volume":"25","author":"Cavalheiro","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Pediatr"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_611_2023\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1023\/B:NEON.0000024660.91021.2a","article-title":"Recurrent glioependymal cyst of the posterior fossa: An unusual entity containing mixed glial elements.
