Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
A meningocoele is a developmental anomaly of meningothelial elements displaced into the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Pathology
It is defect of the neural tube, an embryonic structure that gives rise to the spinal cord and vertebral column. This defect leads to protrusion of the membranes that cover the spine and part of the spinal cord through a bone defect in the vertebral column.
Types
Differential diagnosis
Possible considerations include
- pseudomeningocoele - post traumatic
