Enterogenous cysts ( ECs ) are rare, benign, congenital ectopic endodermal cysts which only occasionally involves the central nervous system. We presented the diagnosis and treatment of an exceedingly rare case of EC located in brainstem, which was previously reported for only 7 times in pediatric patients. The patient was treated by completely surgical resection and experienced no recurrence during the 6-months follow-up. Histopathological examination showed a characteristic cyst walls lined by a monolayers, pseudocompound cubic or columnar epithelium. Preoperative diagnosis of brainstem EC is still challenging. Surgical resection is an effective treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy has not demonstrated reliable therapeutic efficiency.
