ABSTRACT

Background:

Intradural extramedullary teratomas in the cervical or cervicomedullary region are rare in adults. Case Description We report a symptomatic, mature teratoma at the cervicomedullary junction in a 52-year-old Hispanic female who also has a type I diastematomyelia in the thoracolumbar spine. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion with the resolution of presenting symptoms. Histopathology of the lesion revealed a mature cystic teratoma with pulmonary differentiation.

Conclusion:

We discuss the case along with a review of pertinent literature and considerations with regard to the diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, and management of this unusual pathology.
