Abstract
Neurenteric cysts (NCs) are rare benign endodermal lesions of the central nervous system (CNS), most commonly found in the spinal cord. Intracranial lesions are rare, among which the posterior fossa appears to be the predominant location. We present a case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a suddenly decreased level of consciousness. After a series of radiological studies were done, a multilobulated cystic lesion in the right posterior fossa was observed. Surgical resection was performed and based on its histopathological characteristics, NC diagnosis was confirmed. Because of the wide list of differential diagnoses and low specificity of radiological features, surgical gross total resection remains the most effective treatment, followed by diagnosis confirmation through histopathological techniques.
