Myelomeningocystocele

Myelomeningocystocele (myelomeningocystocele; myelo- + anat. meninges meninges + Greek kystis bubble + kele bulging, hernia) is a congenital abnormality of the neural tube, in which protrusion of the spinal meninges and spinal cord tissue occurs through a spinal defect.

With myelomeningocele, a herniated protrusion of the meninges (meningocele) along with spinal cord tissue (myelocele) is observed. This results in the formation of a cyst filled with cerebrospinal fluid on the baby's back. The cyst is covered with a thin transparent membrane.

Myelomeningocystocele is a type of spina bifida, a congenital defect of the spine and spinal cord. This pathology is often combined with hydrocephalus and can lead to various neurological disorders. Timely surgical treatment is necessary to prevent complications and disability of the patient.

Myelomyelocystocystocele (also known as myelokostacystocole (in Latin) and myelamiyelocollacicolis, making the Greek designations incorrect). This is a rare combination of two paramedian defects under the skin of the thigh: a costacular protrusion (abnormal stretching of the lateral fascia of the thigh) and a bulging blister-like tuberosity in the posterior pelvis. The name comes from the Greek "kyklos" (bladder) and the Latin "coelus" (cyst). Often called a “periscope bladder.”

Symptoms: Symptoms may include awkwardness and disturbance in gait during exercise associated with microchalk subcutaneous bulge in the iliac region. The sciatic vein, passing through the angle between the two posterior protrusions and the smaller protrusions (usually
