  • Title: A clinical clue toward recognition of split cord malformation type-I resembling meningocele in neonates.
    Author: Habibi Z, Meybodi KT, Tavallaii A, Nejat F.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 2023 Sep; 39(9):2267-2268. PubMed ID: 37310473.
    Abstract:
    This is a letter to share the clinical experience we had with neonates born with a specific feature of spina bifida. The lesion is like a meningocele containing skim amount of fluid, with a tiny dimple around the center of the cutaneous lesion which causes inward retraction of the dysplastic coverage. This feature is in favor of accompanied split cord malformation (SCM) type I, and the central nidus is in continuous with the dural sleeve around the bony septum of SCM. By recognition of this clinical clue, surgical repair can be planned to perform with appropriate provision, particularly foreseeing the amount of intraoperative bleeding and duration of anesthesia in the newborn patients.
