Abstract
A case of a newborn infant with a complex cerebral malformation, including a neurenteric cyst of medulla oblongata is presented. This localization is extremely rare, only one such case has been reported in the world literature. Other cerebral malformations were spina bifida posterior with cervicodorsal dysraphia, cerebellar hypoplasy, cervico-dorsal cystic meningocele and hydrocephalus. The etiology of this complex malformation remained unknown.
