Neurenteric cysts of the central nervous system are cystic congenital lesions that may occur anywhere along the neural tube. They are most common in the spinal region, in the lower part of cervical and upper thoracic region. Intracranial cysts are rare and there are only small series of patients published in literature worldwide. Surgery is the treatment choice. Here we are presenting a case of posterior fossa neurenteric cyst with surgical management. The complexity of this case lies in the location in which the lesion lies where it is surrounded by very important and must be preserved neurovascular structures without scope for any injury. Brain stem region constitutes a very important part of the brain which is difficult to access and tolerates very little damage as it can lead to severe morbidity and mortality when injured. Special and sincere thanks to Dr. Nishchith S, consultant neurosurgeon, SDMCSH for the expert assistance in doing the case.
