Neuroenteric Cyst
Home » Neuroenteric Cyst
What is a Neuroenteric Cyst?
A Neuroenteric Cyst (also called enterogenous cyst) is a benign, fluid-filled lesion that results from abnormal communication between the developing nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract during fetal development. These cysts are most commonly found in the cervical and thoracic spine, but may also appear in the posterior mediastinum (part of the chest cavity).
Although benign, they can cause serious symptoms by compressing the spinal cord, nerves, or lungs depending on their location.
Symptoms of Neuroenteric Cyst
Symptoms vary by location and size but may include:
Spinal Cysts:
Back or neck pain
Weakness in arms or legs
Numbness or tingling
Difficulty walking
Bladder or bowel dysfunction
Thoracic Cysts (chest cavity):
Respiratory distress in newborns
Persistent cough or wheezing
Feeding difficulties
Recurrent chest infections
Some cases may remain asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during imaging for another issue.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
We use advanced imaging techniques to confirm diagnosis:
MRI and CT scans to determine the size, location, and impact of the cyst
Spinal X-rays and neurological assessments
Ultrasound (in prenatal or infant cases)
Treatment involves surgical removal, especially if the cyst is causing symptoms or compressing critical structures. We offer:
Microsurgical excision of spinal cysts to relieve pressure on nerves
Thoracoscopic or open surgery for chest-based cysts
