Abstract

Neurenteric cysts are rare developmental lesions typically found outside the central nervous system but when they do, we most likely find them in a spinal (cervical or dorsal) intradural extramedular location, often associated with dysraphism. The more unusual intracranial cases have been published because of its rarity, occurring mostly as a posterior fossa extra-axial cyst, in adults. Supratentorial cases are distinctly infrequent, especially in children, resulting in few case reports and even fewer case reviews. We describe a case of a child with a supratentorial neurenteric cyst and present a brief review of the literature about these cysts in children, a noticeable gap in the literature.
