Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Spinal dysraphism is a broad term given to a group of anomalies where the there are malformations in the dorsum of the embryo. Neural tube defects come under this group as well.
Pathology
There is often abnormal fusion of the midline embryonic neural, vertebral and mesenchymal structures.
Sub types
Spinal dysraphism can be broadly divided to into two different pathological entities 4:
- open spinal dysraphism
: - closed spinal dysraphism
