Abstract
An intracranial nerve-enteric cyst is a relatively rare benign disease, and the main clinical manifestations are related to the location and size of the cyst. The main symptoms are caused by cyst compression. When the cyst is small without compression, it may have no obvious symptoms, and when the cyst increases to a certain degree, it may cause corresponding clinical manifestations. The diagnosis of this disease is mainly based on clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, and pathological examinations. The authors present a 47-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with “dizziness”. Imaging was performed and revealed a small round lesion in the posterior cranial fossa in front of the brainstem. It was surgically removed and the postoperative pathology revealed an intracranial neuro-enteric cyst. The patient’s dizziness disappeared after surgery and was reviewed 1 year later without recurrence.
