Abstract

Aims: Neural tube defects are among the most common congenital anomalies worldwide, with a wide range of subtypes. The aim of this case report is to present a patient with cervical meningocele, a rare type of neural tube defect. Case Report: A 33-year-old pregnant woman with a story of bearing an anencephalic baby was referred to Trakya University Hospital with a probable cystic hygroma diagnosis on the 31st week of pregnancy. An antenatal ultrasound revealed a protrusion on the posterior cervical regi- on. Two days before the planned delivery, fetal magnetic resonance imaging was performed by the decision of the council. The 61 x 37 millimeters cyst was planned to be removed upon birth. On the 38th week, the baby was delivered by cesarean section with no other complications. After a preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, surgical procedure including the excision of the cyst and the duroplasty was performed. Conclusion: A rare and devastating congenital anomaly, cervical meningocele, requires accurate diagnosis and prompt surgical involvement for effective treatment and good prognosis.
