The meninges, or protecting covering around the spinal cord, has pushed out through the opening in the vertebrae in a sac called the "meningocele". the spinal cord remains intact. This form can be repaired with little or no damage to the nerve pathways.
a protrusion of the meninges through an opening in the skull or spinal cord due to a genetic defect
a congenital anomaly of the central nervous system in which a sac protruding from the brain or the spinal meninges contains cerebrospinal fluid (but no nerve tissue)
a congenital defect such that the meninges of the brain or the spinal cord protrudes through the skull
a CSF-filled sac formed when the meninges balloon through the gap in the vertebrae
a defect consisting of a herniation of meningeal tissue through a defect in the skull and/or spine
a pouching of the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid through a defect in the posterior surface of the spinal vertebrae
a protrusion of cerebrospinal fluid and meninges (covering layers of the spinal cord and brain) into the tissue s beneath the skin
a sac protruding from the spinal column, which contains some of the spinal fluid and meninges
A birth defect where the tissue that lines the spinal cord and brain (meninges) bulges through an opening in the spinal column or skull.
A protrusion of the spinal cord and its encasing membrane through a small hole in the skull or spinal column in which the spinal cord remains intact. Occurs during fetal development and is a factor in spina bifida.
A protrusion of the meninges of the spinal cord through a defect in the spinal column.
a protrusion of the meninges, without brain or spinal cord, through a defect in the spine or skull
protrusion of the membranes that cover the spine and part of the spinal cord through a bone defect in the vertebral column.
A protrusion of the meninges out of an opening in the vertebral column.
Hernia of the meninges of the spinal cord or brain.
