Myelodysplasia Flashcards
1
Q
Myelodysplasia
A
- defective development of spinal cord (any part, especially lower)
- spina bifida is one type
2
Q
Spina Bifida Occulta
A
- closed SC lesion
- large/small subcutaneous lipoma
- dimples above gluteal cleft/may have tuft of hair/discolored
- with or without paralysis at birth
3
Q
Spina Bifida Aperta
A
- open SC defect protruding dorsally
- usually categorized as myelomeningocele
- protrude dorsally
- not covered in skin
- motor nerve paralysis
4
Q
Neurulation
A
- folding of ectoderm on each side of primitive spinal cord to form a tube from hind brain to S2
- before gestational day 28
- most of spina bifida is from problems with neurulation
5
Q
Canalization
A
- nerve cells form to become distal end of SC
- caudal to S2
- impairments cause skin covered meningoceles and lipomas of SC distal to L3
6
Q
Diagnosis of neural tube defects
A
- AFP blood test
- 2nd trimester US
- amniocentesis analysis
7
Q
Classifications of Spina Bifida
