Abstract
- The authors report a case of 21-year-old, neurologically normal female who presented with a teratoma contained in a cervical meningocele. The concurrence of a congenital neoplasm within the spine associated with spina bifida cystica seems to be a very rare event. The radiographic studies, histological examinations, treatment and follow up findings in this case are presented with a review of the literature.
