Abstract
Enterogenous cysts mostly locate in the spinal canal and have only rarely been reported in an intracranial site. We report a case of enterogenous cyst in the ventral to brainstem. The 45-year-old woman presented with paroxysmal headache and diplopia. A CT scan and MRI revealed a cystic clival mass from midbrain to medulla. Subtotal resection was performed using a sub-temporal approach and the patient made a good recovery. Pathological examination revealed that the lesion was a typical enterogenous cyst.
