A

only meninges found in sac
spinal cord function may be impaired
signs and symptoms vary depending on location and severity of malformation

both meninges and spinal cord are found in sac
always results in abnormal growth of spinal cord
lower extremity paralysis
bowel and bladder dysfunction
loss of sensation of lower limbs

Q

describe myeloschisis spina bifida cystica

A

failure of caudal neural folds to close

most severe of the defects

18
Q

describe arnold-chiari deformity

A

inferior cerebellum and medulla are elongated and protrude into vertebral canal
medulla and pons are deformed and small
hydrocephalus
malformation of lower cranial nerves (deafness, tongue, facial muscle, lateral eye movement weakness)

19
