16
Q

neural tube defects

A

persistent connection between amniotic cavity & spinal canal
incr. alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), incr acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
assoc with low folic acid

17
Q

Spina bifida occulta

A

failure of bony spinal canal to close (no structural herniation)
intact dura
normal AFP

18
Q

Meningocele

A

meninges (but no neural tissue) herniates through bony defect

19
Q

Meningomyelocele

A

meninges & neural tissue herniate through bony defect

20
Q

anencephaly

A

malformation of anterior neural tube (no forebrain)

21
Q

holoprosencephaly

A

failure of L + R hemispheres to separate
moderate form has cleft lip/palate,
severe form has cyclopia
seen in Patau syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome

22
Q

chiari II

A

significant herniation of cerebellar tonsils and vermis through foramen magnum
assoc with aqueductal stenosis and lumbosacral meningiomyelocele

23
Q

Dandy-Walker

A

agenesis of cerebellar vermis with cystic enlargement of 4th ventricle
assoc with hydrocephalu, spina bifida

24
Q

Syringomyelia

A
cystic cavity (syrinx) within spinal cord
bilateral loss of pain + temp in upper extremities
