Myelomeningocele is a rare disease that occurs due to congenital defects in the spinal canal (the hollow space of the vertebrae, which contains the spinal cord and nerve roots) of the child. Myelomeningocele is a serious medical condition that causes loss or dysfunction of the nervous system, affecting the appearance, daily activities and potentially causing many health risks for the patient.

Diagnosis of meningomyelocele in infants plays an extremely important role in detecting the disease and treating it promptly, limiting dangerous complications that the disease causes in children.

Spina bifida is a condition in which the spine fails to close during the first month of pregnancy. In most cases of open spina bifida, a fluid-filled sac protrudes from the injury site. It contains the deformed nerves and the membrane that surrounds them, called the meninges. This sac is called a myelomeningocele. Less commonly, the spine splits backward and is not covered by the meninges; this is called a myelomeningocele.

Endoscopic surgery is indicated for the treatment of skull base herniation in cases of congenital meningocele; due to trauma and post-surgical meningocele. Contraindicated in cases of patients with acute or subacute sinusitis due to infection or meningocele in the anterior part of the frontal sinus.
