    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Meningocoele manqué, a spinal cord anomaly, involves fibrous bands causing neurological deficits in spina bifida occulta cases. Surgical release of neural structures is the effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Meningocoele manqué is a congenital spinal anomaly involving the spinal cord, cauda equina, and filum terminale.
    • It is frequently identified during surgical exploration for spina bifida occulta.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical entity of meningocoele manqué.
    • To discuss its relationship with spina bifida occulta and spina bifida cystica.
    • To present findings from 45 surgical cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical exploration of the spinal cord in 200 cases of spina bifida occulta.
    • Analysis of anomalies including fibrous bands, aberrant nerve roots, and adhesions within the theca.
    • Comparison of findings with known cases of meningocoele.

    Main Results:

    • Identified meningocoele manqué in 45 cases, characterized by neural structure tethering or compression.
    • Observed that these anomalies interfere with nerve conduction, leading to progressive neurological deficits.
    • Established the similarity to meningocoele, justifying the designation of a new clinical entity.

    Conclusions:

    • Meningocoele manqué is a distinct clinical entity related to spina bifida occulta.
    • Surgical intervention to free neural structures is the recommended treatment.
    • This condition highlights the spectrum of spinal dysraphism, linking spina bifida occulta and cystica by origin and severity.
