AbstractNeuroenteric cysts are developmental cysts that should be differentiated from other, more common non-neoplastic cysts as well as cystic neoplasms. While these lesions may have varied imaging findings, T1 hyperintense prepontine lesion due to mucinous/proteinaceous content is characteristic. Location and imaging characteristics aid in formulating the correct diagnosis of neuroepithelial/neuroenteric cysts. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has the specific finding of N-Acetyl Aspartate (NAA)-like peak at 2.02 ppm which is not seen in other cystic lesions. In this study, we aim to discuss the imaging findings of these lesions on conventional and advanced MRI findings and provide radiologic-pathologic correlation. We also briefly describe the pathogenesis, embryology and radiological differential diagnoses of these cysts.
