Spinal neurenteric cysts are very rare congenital anomalies and are commonly associated with other spinal malformations. They are usually located in intradural, extramedullary location. We report a rare case of intramedullary conus medullaris neurenteric cyst without any associated spinal malformation diagnosed preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging.

Key-words:

Conus medullaris - neurenteric cyst - magnetic resonance imaging
