Abstract

A 4-year-old female patient underwent surgery for an enterogenous cyst of the cervical spinal canal. The cyst fluid was drained and a portion of the cyst wall was excised for histological and electron microscopic evaluation. Nine months after surgery the patient was doing well, with no signs of recurrence. Enterogenous cysts may be confused with ependymal cysts. After a thorough review of the literature, we based our diagnosis of enterogenous cyst on the results of periodic acid-Schiff staining and electron microscopic findings.
