Spinal dysraphisms (SDs) are congenital malformations of the spinal cord, determined by
derangement in the complex cascade of embryologic events involved in spinal …

Congenital malformations of spine and spinal cord are collectively termed as spinal
dysraphism. It includes a heterogeneous group of anomalies which result from faulty closure …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fetal MRI has become a valuable tool in the evaluation of
open spinal dysraphisms making studies comparing prenatal and postnatal MRI findings …

Our purpose was to review the neuroradiological features of spinal dysraphism and to
correlate them with clinical findings and up-to-date embryological theory. We also aimed to …

Spinal dysraphism is an umbrella term that encompasses a number of congenital
malformations that affect the central nervous system. The etiology of these conditions can be …

Aim To diagnose type and extent of clinically suspected spinal anomalies by MRI scan and

Objective Congenital abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord are referred to as spinal
dysraphisms. This article reviews normal embryological development of the spine and spinal …

Spinal dysraphism is an umbrella term describing herniation of meninges or neural
elements through defective neural arch. They can be broadly categorized into open and …

Spinal dysraphism is a general term which encompasses a wide variety of anomalies of the
spine, all of which result from imperfect midline fusion of the embryonic neural tube. This …

Spinal cord development occurs through three consecutive periods of gastrulation, primary
nerulation and secondary neurulation. Aberration in these stages causes abnormalities of …
