Course #28

tube defect and describe the
difference between the various
forms of this type of disorder.
Spinal Bifida
Pathophysiology
• Congenital Neural Tube
defect
• Incomplete closure of the
vertebrae
• 3 Levels
– Spina Bifida Occulta
– Meningocele
– Myelomeningocele
Spina bifida occulta
• Bones of the spine do not close
• But the spinal cord and meninges
remain in place
• And skin usually covers the defect
Meningocele
• Meninges protrude from the spinal
canal
• But the spinal cord remains in place
Myelomeningocele
• Both the spinal cord and the
meninges protrude from the spinal
canal
• Co-morbidity
–Hydrocephalus
Spinal Bifida
The Infant with
Myelomeningocele
• Myelomeningocele must have a
repair of the open neural tube.
Failure to repair may result in
serious infection which would
harm the developing infant
brain. After the repair, many
children require the insertion
of a device called a shunt to
divert the cerebral spinal fluid
to treat the hydrocephalus.
Spinal Bifida
Etiology
• Idopathic
• Folic acid deficiency
during pregnancy
– Esp 1st month
Spinal Bifida
Diagnosis
