Description and Extensions

Description
NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:Incomplete closure of the spinal column during central nervous system development with protrusion of a hernial cyst containing meninges, spinal cord, or both.|NCI2016_02D:A congenital abnormality in which the spinal cord and meninges protrude through a defect in the spinal column. The protrusion is above the skin surface.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:Congenital, or rarely acquired, herniation of meningeal and spinal cord tissue through a bony defect in the vertebral column. The majority of these defects occur in the lumbosacral region. Clinical features include PARAPLEGIA, loss of sensation in the lower body, and incontinence. This condition may be associated with the ARNOLD-CHIARI MALFORMATION and HYDROCEPHALUS. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp35-6)|HPO2016_07_04:Protrusion of the meninges and portions of the spinal cord through a defect of the vertebral column. [HPO:probinson]|HPO2016_07_04:Myelocystocele is characterized by a large, ependyma-lined, cystic dilation of the caudal end of the central canal of the spinal cord; it projects dorsally through a lamina defect, with overlying varying amounts of lipomatous subcutaneous tissue. Myelocystoceles are associated with a tethered cord and meningocele, which communicates with the spinal subarachnoid space, but not with the central canal cyst.
