Abstract
We report three cases of enterogenous cyst, one craniospinal and two s pinal manifesting with features of spinal cord compression. In one the cyst was intramedullary in location and in the other two it was intra dural, extramedullary. The unusual clinical presentation, location and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics are discussed. None of the three patients had any vertebral anomaly or other congenital ma lformation. All patients had excellent outcome following surgery.
