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.

Among the diseases related to the spine, tethered spinal cord syndrome is quite common. This disease represents a neurological disorder due to the spinal cord being stuck to the surrounding skin, limiting the movement of the spinal cord in the patient's spine.
