Abstract: BACKGROUND ＆ AIM:To investigate the clinical characteristic, diagnosis and therapeutic methods of Spinal neurenteric cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The clinical data of 23 patients in our department were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS:Of the 23 patients, 8 were female and 15 were male. Their ages at presentation ranged widely from 5 weeks to 52 years . Majority of children presented with occult spinal dysraphism , but the adults presented primarily with pain . The lesion most commonly occurred as intradural，extramedullary masses in the thoracolumbar region,situated ventral to the spinal cord.Total surgical removal was performed in 17 cases, subtotal removal in 5 cases . partial resection in 1 case , The median follow－up period was 7.5 years . The therapeutic efficacy of microsurgery treatment was well. CONCLUSION: Spinal neurenteric cysts are congenital benign disease. The outcome of early microsurgery treatment is good.
