A member asked:

My mri showed a neurenteric cyst on my spine. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: Neurenteric cysts are benign tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) that represent 0.3% to 0.5% of all spinal cord tumors. They are usually extra medullary and found in the lower cervical and thoracic spine. Only 12.2% of neurenteric cysts are documented to be intramedullary.
