Hydrocephalus is a common clinical problem encountered in neurosurgical practice. With greater subspecialisation, pediatric neurosurgery has emerged as a special discipline in several countries. However, in the developing world, which inhabits a large pediatric population, a limited number of neurosurgeons manage all types of hydrocephalus across all ages. There are some essential differences in pediatric and adult hydrocephalus. The spectrum of hydrocephalus of dysgenetic origin in a neonate and that of normal pressure hydrocephalus of the old age has a completely different strategy of management. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy outcomes are known to be closely associated with age at presentation and surgery. Efficacy of alternative pathways of CSF absorption also differs according to age. Managing this disease in various age groups is challenging because of these differences in etiopathology, tempo of the disease, modalities of investigations and various treatment protocols as well as prognosis., Competing Interests: None

Neurenteric cysts are very rare, particularly in adults. These are congenital intraspinal cysts of endodermal origin. A 67 years old man, presenting with backache and paraesthesiae of one and half years' duration, followed by subacute flaccid paraplegia, developing in a week is described. MRI revealed intramedullary cyst at T7. He underwent emergency thoracic laminectomy and complete excision of the cyst. Histopathology confirmed a neurenteric cyst. In view of their rarity, peculiarity in terms of age, location and presentation, we report this case.
