Intraspinal neurenteric cysts are rare congenital lesions that results from abnormal separation of germ layersin the third week of embryonic development, which may cause spinal compression. Although, the diagnosis ofneurenteric cyst was very difficult prior to operation, MRI has proven to be a useful imaging modality indetection, localization and characterization of intraspinal neurenteric cysts. We recently experienced intraspinalneurenteric cyst in two patients who presented with progerssive quadriparesis. Myelography, CT myelography and MRIwere taken and complete excision was performed. The MRI findings are presented and the literature is reviewed.
