    Abstract:
    Neural tube defects are common congenital abnormalities associated with a variety of complications. Spina bifida, among the most common, results from failure of the neural tube and the vertebral bones to close during embryogenesis. Myelomeningocele is the most common severe form of spina bifida. It may be associated with various anomalies in different tissues. Here we report a case of spina bifida with associated ocular anomalies and review the literature of previous spina bifida cases with ocular manifestations.
