A protrusion of the spinal cord and its coverings through a defect in the vertebral column. Herniation of cord and meninges through a defect in the vertebral column.
A hernia composed of meninges and spinal cord.
Most severe form of Spina Bifida in which a portion of the spinal cord itself protrudes through the back. In some cases, sacs are covered with skin, in others, tissues and nerves are exposed.
Form of spina bifida in which portions of the spinal cord and its membranes protrude through the open space in the vertebral column.
a congenital defect that results in a hernia (containing the spinal cord, the meninges and cerebral spinal fluid) along the spinal column, also called spina bifida.
a congenital defect of the central nervous system in which a sac containing part of the spinal cord and its meninges protrude through a gap in the vertebral column; frequently accompanied by hydrocephalus and mental retardation
a congenital defect in the vertebral arches with a cystic protrusion of the meninges and neural tissue
an open NTD wherein the spinal cord is exposed at birth and is often lacking CSF
a pouching of the spinal cord, the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid through a defect in the posterior spinal vertebrae

a congenital deformity of the spine characterized by an opening allowing the protrusion of the spinal cord. The condition is generally associated with an abnormality of the spinal cord as well. Also known as spina bifida.
A protrusion of the spinal cord and its encasing membrane through an opening in the bony spinal column, resulting in damage to the spinal cord. Occurs during fetal development and is often a factor in spinal bifida.
Synonym for the most severe form of spina bifida. The spinal cord has not completely developed and is open on the back of the baby because the overlying bones, muscle and skin are also open.
A congenital abnormality where the spinal cord does not roll up into a tube the way that it normally does. The spinal cordstays on the surface of the skin. The nerves that are below the level where the spinal cord stopped rolling up do not work properly.
An "open spine" is a protrusion of the meninges, spinal cord and nerves out of an opening in the vertebral column. Skin, or a thin membrane may cover this spinal cord defect. Known also as spina bifida.
Spina Bifida in association with the protrusion of the spinal cord and its membranes.
