Abstract
A midline cystic sac of meninges containing spinal tissue and CSF that herniates via a hole in the posterior vertebral arch is known as a Meningomyelocele. It is a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord do not develop completely. Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of Cerebrospinal fluid in the intracranial spaces.This happens when there is a problem with CSF production or absorption, or when the CSF channels become blocked. It causes the skull to expand and the cerebral ventricles to dilate
