NS06 PRIMARY NERVE REPAIR FOLLOWING RESECTION OF A NEUROENTERIC CYST OF THE OCULOMOTOR NERVE: CASE REPORT.
- Authors

- Abstract
Neuroenteric cysts are rare congenital lesions of endodermal origin occurring in the spinal canal and infrequently the posterior cranial fossa. We report a 3 year old child who presented with a recurrent third cranial nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large cystic mass lesion in the ambient cistern on the right side, with compression of the anterolateral aspect of the brainstem. She underwent a craniotomy, complete excision and primary nerve repair. While there have been only 2 reported cases of neuroenteric cysts arising from the oculomotor nerve, this is the first documented case with a primary nerve repair. 1,2
