meningocele

A meningocele may also form through dehiscences in the base of the skull.

Learn about Meningocele Repair and how to prepare for this procedure.

Surgery is recommended if a meningocele or meningomyelocele is present.

It can also cause an anterior meningocele or a presacral teratoma.

Also sometimes found here is an anterior meningocele, a relatively mild form of neural tube defect.

This meningocele is not related to spina bifida).

As the nervous system remains undamaged, individuals with meningocele are unlikely to suffer long-term health problems, although cases of tethered cord have been reported.

If the bulging portion contains only cerebrospinal fluid and the overlaying membrane, it may be called a meningocele.

The least common form of spina bifida is a posterior meningocele (or meningeal cyst).

This includes meningocele and myelomeningocele.

Congenital swellings are present since birth, e.g., hemangioma, meningocele, etc.

About 80-90% of fetuses or newborn infants with spina bifida-often associated with meningocele or myelomeningocele-develop hydrocephalus.

Meningocele Repair Meningocele Repair, like most surgery, is easier if you know what to expect.

Congenital anomalies of the nervous system include neural tube defects such as spina bifida, meningocele, meningomyelocele, encephalocele and anencephaly.

Causes of meningocele include teratoma and other tumors of the sacrococcyx and of the presacral space, and Currarino syndrome.

It is used to treat a meningocele, a birth defect in the bones of the spine that involves swelling of the tissue covering the spinal cord and brain.

Meningohydroencephalocoele (AmE: meningohydroencephalocele) is a form of meningocele (AmE) - a developmental abnormality of the central nervous system.

According to physicians, the tail Oram has is not a real tail, but a congenital malformation known as spina bifida, in this case of the rare meningocele category.

Cutaneous meningioma (also known as "Heterotopic meningeal tissue," and "Rudimentary meningocele") is a developmental defect, and results from the presence of meningocytes outside the calvarium.

Surgeries here include repair of rectal prolapse and anterior meningocele, radical perineal prostatectomy, removal of tumors including sacrococcygeal teratoma, and coccygectomy.

Spina bifida malformations fall into three categories: spina bifida occulta, spina bifida cystica with meningocele, and spina bifida cystica with myelomeningocele.

In contrast to a meningocele, in which the fluid is surrounded and confined by dura mater, in a pseudomeningocele, the fluid has no surrounding membrane but is contained in a cavity within the soft tissues.
