Abstract

AbstractNeurenteric cysts are usually associated with vertebral anomalies of the same segments of vertebrae. Rarely, they can be detected antenatally. The prognosis depends upon the size and site of the lesion. In cases of small cysts with minimal mass effect, the prognosis is good. Larger cysts, however, can cause hydrops fetalis and, if untreated, can lead to intrauterine fetal demise. The present case report describes the successful conservative management of the neurenteric cyst detected prenatally and is accompanied by a summary from literature.
