Abstract
A 4-year-old girl presented with an intramedullary epidermoid cyst of the cervical spinal cord. The clinical, radiological, and surgical features and a brief critical review of the literature are included in this report. The cyst contents were removed totally in two operations. The child had a coexisting neuroenteric cyst in the posterior mediastinum. To our knowledge, this coexistence has not been previously reported. Contemporary imaging modes and prospects of the surgical treatment are discussed.
