Case Report on Myelomeningocele

Author(s) Afifa Khan, Pulagam Vaishnavi Reddy
Country India
Abstract Myelomeningocele is a type of spina bifida, a congenital condition characterized by the incomplete closure of the neural tube during fetal development. Specifically, myelomeningocele involves the protrusion of the spinal cord and its covering membranes through a defect in the vertebrae, resulting in a sac or cyst on the baby's back. This sac may contain cerebrospinal fluid, part of the spinal cord, and nerves, leading to varying degrees of neurological impairment below the defect. Common complications associated with myelomeningocele include paralysis, loss of sensation, bladder and bowel dysfunction, orthopaedic issues, and hydrocephalus. Treatment typically involves surgical repair of the spinal defect shortly after birth to minimize the risk of infection and further damage to the spinal cord. Long-term management may require multidisciplinary care involving neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, urologists, physical therapists, and other specialists to address the complex needs of individuals affected by myelomeningocele. Early intervention and ongoing support are crucial to optimize outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals.
Keywords Myelomeningocele, spina bifida, neural tube, cerebrospinal fluid, paralysis, spinal cord, quality of life.
