Abstract

Neural tube defects (NTD) are one of the mostfrequently seen congenital malformations covering thespinal cord and cranium in the neonatal period.Myelomeningocele,occulta, syringomyelia, dermal sinus tract and tetheredcord can develop due to incomplete neural archclosure. Meningocele is commonly seen in newborns.It may occur usually due to folic acid deficiency, agenetic tendency and certain drugs taken duringpregnancy. It is usually seen in the lumbosacral regionbut the cervical region is a rare localization. Anewborn baby girl was evaluated by cervical magneticresonance (MR) imaging. The MR findings showcervical myelomeningocele sac and she is diagnosedas having myelomeningocele. We present the case,due to localization of the meningomyelocele and itsrarity

Özet

Nöral tüp defektleri (NTD), medulla spinalis vekraniyumu kapsayan ve yenidoğan döneminde en sıksaptanan konjenital malformasyonlardan birisidir. Nöralarkın kapanmasının tam gerçekleşememesi nedeni ilemeningomyelosel, meningosel, spina bifida okülta,sirengomiyeli, dermal sinüs traktı ve tethered kordgelişebilmektedir.yaygın görülebilmekte, genellikle folik asit eksikliği,genetik eğilim ve gebelik sürecinde alınan bazı ilaçlarabağlı oluşabilmektedir. Genellikle, lumbosakral bölgedegörülür, servikal bölge lokalizasyonu nadirdir. Doğumsonrası, servikal bölgede kese görülmesi üzerine servikalmagnetik rezonans (MR) görüntüleme ile değerlendirilenve servikal meningomyelosel tesbit edilen yenidoğan kızbebek meningomyelosel lokalizasyonunun servikalbölgede olması ve nadir görülmesi nedeni ile sunmayıuygun gördük
