Case report This case report presents a newborn baby girl, who was diagnosed at birth with a mid-cervical meningocele. Further radiographic workup by MRI revealed co-existing thoracic diplomyelia and bilateral tethered cords. At birth the patient was found to be neurologically intact. Surgery was performed at 4 months of age, the patient undergoing simultaneous repair of the cervical meningocele, exploration of the diplomyelia, and release of the tethered cords bilaterally. Long-term follow-up revealed an ambulating patient with no bowel or bladder incontinence, who has developed well for her chronological age so far. Review of the literature A review of the literature relevant to this case is also presented. |
