| Popis: | Summary: We describe two cases where autologous amnion grafts were used to cover the neurosurgical repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) and the reconstructive flaps used for the skin defects.MMC is a severe fetal defect that evolves during embryonic development as a result of the neural tubes failure to close. In postnatal MMC closure, early timing of surgical repair is essential.We found that a free amnion graft is a viable choice in reconstructive surgery for myelomeningocele and that a multidisciplinary surgical team involving obstetrician, neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon is essential.
