A case of anterior fibroneural stalk, cervicothoracic junction anomaly, enteric duplication cyst, and diaphragmatic hernia: validation of a recently reported notochordal development disorder with pre- and postnatal multimodality imaging.

The syndrome of anterior fibroneural stalk, vertebral anomaly, enteric duplication cyst, and diaphragmatic hernia is a manifestation of abnormal notochordal development due to persistence of the neurenteric canal beyond early fetal gestational age. Our description of the third such published case to date supports this novel tetralogy and further illustrates the role of both pre- and postnatal imaging in achieving the diagnosis.
