Tailgut cysts are rare developmental cysts arising from remnants of the embryological postnatal gut. Despite being frequently located in the presacral space, isolated cases of aberrant locations have been reported, including, perirenal, perianal, and subcutaneous sites, with only two cases of subdural tailgut cysts reported to date. The clinical course is often marked by linear growth, causing compression of the adjacent structures, however malignant transformation with carcinomatous features has been previously described. Hereby the authors describe a case of an intradural extramedullary tailgut cyst in a 33-year-old man presenting with progressive low back pain and signs of autonomic dysfunction, including urinary retention and bowel incontinence. Whole-spine MRI revealed an intrathecal cystic lesion located at L2-L3 level exhibiting hyperintensity on T2-weighted images not enhancing when contrast was administered. Laminectomy followed by tumor excision was performed and pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of tailgut cyst. |
