Enteric cysts in the posterior mediastinum are mostly asymptomatic. Vertebral malformations may contribute. Clinical presentation may include respiratory distress. Herein, we report a case of mediastinal gastroenteric cyst and meningomyelocele in a neonate presented respiratory distress signs after delivery. The patient was well managed by excision of mediastinal cyst and closure of dura mater of meningomyelocele. A detailed antenatal scan may help in early diagnosis and better outcome. Moreover, vertebral anomaly in chest radiograph of infants with respiratory distress should suggest the possible presence of a mediastinal enteric cyst.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNewbornMediastinal CystRespiratory DistressSpina BifidaArticle1414649WOS:0004077282000082-s2.0-8496979390310.4274/jcp.03521Q4N/A
