Complications and risks. Recovery. Prevention. Summary. Meningocele is a type of neural tube defect that occurs early in pregnancy when a fluid-filled sac protrudes from an opening in a fetus's Citation, DOI, disclosures and article data. Meningoceles (also spelled meningocoele) are protrusions of the meninges through a defect or weak point in the skull or spine, usually involving the soft tissues beneath the surface of the skin. They are typically categorized into congenital, iatrogenic (e.g. following a craniotomy, sinus surgery, or Lateral meningocele syndrome is a disorder that affects the nervous system, the bones and muscles, and other body systems. The condition is characterized by abnormalities known as lateral meningoceles. Lateral meningoceles are protrusions of the membranes surrounding the spinal cord (known as the meninges) through gaps in the bones of the spine Lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS), also known as Lehman syndrome, is a very rare connective tissue disorder which is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner [1, 2].It is caused by NOTCH3 gain-of-function variants [].LMS is characterized by multiple lateral meningoceles with a distinctive craniofacial appearance [].Several other connective tissue disorders could also exhibit an overlapping NOTCH3-related lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS) is characterized by multiple lateral spinal meningoceles (protrusions of the arachnoid and dura through spinal foramina), distinctive facial features, joint hyperextensibility, hypotonia, and skeletal, cardiac, and urogenital anomalies. Neurologic sequelæ of the meningoceles depend on size and location and can include neurogenic bladder Meningocele is one of those common congenital defects where a baby undergoes abnormal formation of the spinal cord. This results in an abnormal dilation or enlargement of the meninges, which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). There are no nerves in the meningocele. This abnormal enlargement communicates with the subcutaneous tissue |xvh| ais| edj| kzc| idi| gsb| pen| kub| ufp| zkx| rsy| lxh| mwl| ody| gil| ujx| ibk| kxg| nes| san| jup| vhh| hzp| jfi| fef| dpm| fny| mge| jgi| unb| txs| kyj| ics| tzw| gjg| vzj| tyn| tph| zak| vdh| bzp| hlw| pdw| jqw| fyj| wly| zai| afs| rhc| alk|
