Spina Bifida and Its Associated Skull

چکیده
Some degree of interest has recently been aroused in the question of the occurrence and incidence of spina bifida. Despite the efforts made by many theorists in the past, its mode of production still remains obscure; it is known' that fundamentally there is a defective formation of the mesodermal tissues surrounding the primitive neural plate, and that the process of chondrification and subsequent ossification of the early membranous spinal column may lead to the production of a minor fault such as spina bifida occulta, or to a major fault such as myelocele, meningocele, myelomeningocele, or syringocele, but the reasons why this defective development should be brought about are not known.

Spina bifida is one of the most prevalent major birth malformations with a worldwide incidence of approximately 1:2,000 live births. A myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most frequent form of spina bifida, characterized by the extrusion of the spinal cord and/or nerves through a bony defect of the spine into a sac filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

متن کاملProphylactic Effects of Levamisole and Vitamin E on Phenobarbital-induced Cleft Palate and Spina Bifida in Rat Embryos
There are many reports that show the teratogenic effects of phenobarbital can be decreased by stimulation of maternal immune system. Therefore, in this study, the prophylactic effects of levamisole and vitamin E on teratogenic effects of phenobarbital were compared. This study was performed on 20 pregnant rats that were divided into four groups. Control group received normal saline and test gro...
