Abstract
Intraspinal neurenteric cysts are thought to be caused by genetic abnormalities in the early stages of cervical vessel development. Our subject was a 15-year-old boy who complained of myotonia of the four extremities. MRI revealed a double-lobed cyst at the C2 level of his spine. The cyst was resected through C2-level laminoplasty.
Histological study revealed that the cyst was a neurenteric cyst, of the C Wilkins type.
