Abstract
Neurenteric cyst is a rare congenital malformation, which is enterogenous type of duplication cyst located anywhere in the body from intracranial to abdomen. Neurenteric cysts are formed due to failure of complete separation of notochord from the foregut during embryonal life. They are usually associated with vertebral anomalies. We present a case of neurenteric cyst arising in the posterior mediastinum in a 34 weeks male neonate with the clinical presentation of respiratory distress.
