Q

Why does the Rostral Neuropore close first?

A

Rostral is brain to lumbar region.

Brain is more important. So more blood goes to head and arms so they will develop first.

20
Q

What is Spinal Bifida occulta?

What causes it?

What are the symptoms?

Who does it affect?

A
  • hidden
  • caudal neuroport finally closed but disrupted
  • unfused vertebral arch
  • bifebed spinous processes
  • usually no problems
  • tuft of hair on small of back
  • 10% of population
21
Q

What is Meningocele?

What causes it?

Symptoms?

Vertebral arches present?

Defects?

A

Congenital Neural Tube Defects: Spinal Cord

  • Failure of Caudal Neuroport to close in timeley manner
  • finally closes, by may or may not be covered by skin
  • Vertebral arches did NOT form
  • meninges herniate out into a cyst like sac
  • may or may not have defects
22
Q

What is Meningomyelocele?

Cause?

Arches?

Skin?

Defects?

A

Congenital Neural Tube Defect: Spinal Cord

  • failure of caudal neuroport to close
  • no vertebral arches
  • meninges herniate into sac
  • covered with membrane
  • motor and sensory defects
23
Q

What is Myelocele (myeloschisis)?

A
  • most severe
  • Conginetial Neural Tube Defect: Spinal Cord
  • Spinal cord exposed to environment
  • no vertebral arches
  • motor and sensory defects
  • SOL
24
Q
A
  1. Spina bifida occulta
  2. Meningomyelocele
  3. Anencephaly
  4. Encephalocele
25
Q

What is Anencephaly?

A

Congenital Neural Tube Defect: Cranial

  • Failure of Rostral Neural Port to close
  • limited brain formation
  • brain stem does form
  • NO life

(one patient lived till 3yo)

26
Q

What happens when the Rostral Neuroport does NOT close properly?

A

Anencephaly

Encephalocele (with or without brain tissue)

27
Q

Top?

Bottom?

A

Top: Cervical Meningocele = failure of Caudal Neuroport to close

Bottom: Frontal Encephalocele = Failure of Rostral Neuroport to close

28
Q

What is the origin germ layer of Meninx Primitiva?

A

Mesoderm (red)

29
Q

What 3 layers form during development of Meninges?

A

Meninx Primitiva (mesoderm origin, derived from sclerotome)

Pachymeninx (dura mater - mesoderm (and neural crest))

Leptomeninges (arachnoid and pia mater (neural crest))

30
Q

Summary of 3 Germ Layers

Exs of each?

A

Ectoderm - Surface and Neuro

Surface = hair, skin, nails, enamel, eye lens

Neuro = Neural Crest and Neural Tube

Neural Crest = sensory nerves, pigment cells, cartilages

Neural Tube = CNS, Retina

Endoderm = epithelium = lungs, GI, bladder, thyroid, tonsils

31
Q

When does Folding of the Embryo occur?

32
Q

Neural Folds fuse to form what?

A

Neural Tube

(think of it as a zipper)

33
Q

What cells undergo Epithelial-Mesechymal-Transition (EMT)?

A

Neuroectoderm / Neural Crest Cells
