The majority localize ventral to the spinal cord and are associated with other vertebral anomalies. Here, the authors report a rare case of a 3-year-old boy presenting with a 1-week history of meningismus followed by rapid-onset (over a few hours) paraplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intramedullary cystic lesion with a fluid-fluid level in the cervicothoracic region of the spinal cord without associated bony or soft tissue abnormalities. To the best of the authors' knowledge, such clinical and radiological presentation of a spinal neurenteric cyst has never been reported. A brief review of the pertinent literature is presented, and the possible pathophysiology of such a presentation is also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.1.peds11469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,30]],"date-time":"2012-04-30T11:27:39Z","timestamp":1335785259000},"page":"542-545","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Intramedullary spinal neurenteric cyst with fluid-fluid level"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sukhdeep Singh","family":"Jhawar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Mahore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atul","family":"Goel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-0090542","series-title":"Arch Neurol Psychiatry","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurpsyc.1947.02300300067007","article-title":"Congenital cyst of the spinal meninges as cause of intermittent compression of the spinal cord","volume":"58","author":"Adams","year":"1947"},{"key":"b2-0090542","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"326","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1998.89.2.0326","article-title":"Endodermal cysts of the posterior fossa.
