Myelomeningocele: An Overview

World Neurosurgery, 2014
yelomeningocele, themost severe form of spina bifida, is a defect of primary neurulation that results from the M failed fusion in the caudal region of the neural tube, the so-called neuropore, at 25e28 days of gestation (12).

Myelomeningocele

2005
Abstract Myelomeningocele (MM), a type of spina bifida, is a protruding lesion along the midline of the spinal cord. It arises when the neuroectoderm is transformed into a neural tube and becomes detached from the cutaneous ectoderm. It is the most common malformation resulting from a disturbance in neurotation and occurs when a child is

Myelomeningocele

2019
Myelomeningocele classically presents as an open neural tube defect and carries an immediate risk for infection to the central nervous system. A complete preoperative evaluation for associated congenital anomalies is critical. Hydrocephalus will manifest at birth or develop postnatally in the majority of patients with open myelomeningocele.

Hydrocephalus in Myelomeningocele

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1979
156 children born with myelomeningocele were studied over a 3- to 10-year follow-up period. The appearance, type and rate of development of hydrocephalus were noted and correlated with the findings on neonatal and follow-up physical examination. 80% of the children developed overt hydrocephalus; 73.4% of these cases were secondary to aqueductal ...

2018
Spina bifida is a defect in which the vertebral arch of the spinal column is either incompletely formed or absent. Failure of closure of the neural tube during the third week of gestation leads to the constellation of defects observed in patients with meningomyelocele or open spina bifida.

Management of Myelomeningocele

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1985
The care of the patient with myelomeningocele has improved over the last 15 years. Early diagnosis of urodynamic abnormalities and close monitoring of the urinary tract by ultrasonography have allowed the institution of prompt, effective therapy before upper-tract deterioration can occur. The wide acceptance of clean intermittent catheterization can in
