Zusammenfassung: | Enterogenous cyst is extremely rare in the supratentorial compartment.
Two adult patients with histologically variefied supratentorial
entrogenous cyst are described. Light microscopy and
immunohistochemistry examination revealed the endodermal origin of the
cyst. Enterogenous cyst should be considered in the differential
diagnosis of non-enhancing cyst in the supratentorial compartment.
Total excision of the cyst wall should be done wherever feasible.
Preventing spillage of the cyst contents during surgery is mandatory to
avoid postoperative intractable seizures and craniospinal
dissemination. |
