Imaging in Spinal DysraphismA Pictoral Assay [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2021
Spinal dysraphism includes the congenital malformations of the spine and spinal cord. Spinal cord development takes place through successive stages of gastrulation, primary neurulation, and secondary neurulation. Defect in any of these three phases can

Predictors of Postoperative Incisional Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak of Closed Spinal Dysraphism in Different Age Groups

World Neurosurgery
To compare the postoperative incisional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak rates of closed spinal dysraphism (SD) and identify significant predictors in different age groups.We retrospectively collected the data of patients who underwent surgeries of closed SD at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2022.

Exome Sequencing in Prenatally Diagnosed Isolated Neural Tube Defects: A Subtype-Specific Analysis. [PDF]

Prenat Diagn
ABSTRACT Objective To explore potential genetic contributors across different subtypes of isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) ‐ acrania–exencephaly–anencephaly sequence (AEAS), spinal dysraphism, and encephalocele ‐ using exome sequencing (ES) in a prenatal cohort, with the goal of gaining insight into the molecular diversity underlying these distinct ...

A rare case of thoracic lipomyelomeningocele in a young female: A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Thoracic lipomyelomeningocele is a rare type of congenital occult spinal dysraphism. It is characterized by lipomatous tissue connected to the dorsal spinal cord that protrudes through a spinal defect together with the meninges or spinal cord to form a ...

Prenatal Diagnosis to Postnatal Outcomes of Saccular Forms of Closed Spina Dysraphism: A Single Center Retrospective Study. [PDF]

Prenat Diagn
ABSTRACT Objective To describe prenatal imaging findings and postnatal outcomes in fetuses diagnosed with saccular forms of closed spinal dysraphism (CSD). Methods This retrospective single‐centre study included fetuses diagnosed with non‐genetic, non‐syndromic CSD between January 2018 and June 2023.

Evaluating the Diagnostic Utility of Spinal Ultrasound in Neonates With a Simple Sacral Dimple: An Eight-Year Retrospective Study. [PDF]

J Med Radiat Sci
This study retrospectively analysed eight years of neonatal spinal ultrasound data from a major Australian children's hospital to assess the value of imaging for simple sacral dimples. Out of 448 scans, 195 were for an isolated simple dimple, and only two infants (1%) were found to have spinal dysraphism, both with other congenital anomalies.

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases. [PDF]

Prenat Diagn
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...

Role of ultrasonography in screening of spinal dysraphism in infants at risk

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2022
Background Spinal dysraphism (SD) encompasses congenital spinal defects that result from inappropriate fusion of the different midline osseous, mesenchymal, and neural elements.
