INTRODUCTION Lipomyelomeningocele is a form of the spina bifida occulta, which show differentiation from spina bifida aperta by pathogenesis. Laterally located thoracal lipomyelomeningocele is very rare congenital spinal pathology. The clinical presentation may be soft tissue mass, sensorial-motor loss and/or bladder dysfunction. CASE PRESENTATION Here we presented a 10-month-old girl patient...

BACKGROUND A large number of studies have confirmed that excessive apoptosis is one of the reasons for deficient neuronal function in neural tube defects (NTDs). A previous study from our laboratory used 2-D gel electrophoresis to demonstrate that 14-3-3ζ expression was low in the spinal cords of rat fetuses with spina bifida aperta at embryonic day (E) 17. As a member of the 14-3-3 protein fam...

Salah satu bentuk vitamin B esensial adalah Asam Folat, asam folat ini tidak bisa diproduksi oleh tubuh sehingga biasanya didapatkan melalui suplemen dan makanan. Pada trimester pertama secara normal sumsum tulang belakang bayi tumbuh dibantu dengan folat. Sehingga pencegahan terjadinya Neural Tube Defects (NTD) seperti Spina Bifida penting untuk dilakukan. Tujuan literature review mengetahui h...

OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of fetoscopic spina bifida aperta repair (FSBAR) with the results of the open approach (OSBAR) as in the Management Of Myelomeningocele Study (MOMS). METHODS This was a systematic comparison of reports on FSBAR with data from the MOMS (n = 78). Inclusion criteria were studies of spina bifida aperta patients who underwent FSBAR and were followed for ≥12 months. Pr...

Neural tube defects result from failure of neural tube fusion during early embryogenesis, the fourth week after conception. The spectrum of severity is not uniform across the various forms of this congenital anomaly as certain presentations are not compatible with extrauterine life (anencephaly) while, on the other hand, other defects may remain undiagnosed as they are entirely asymptomatic (oc...

We analyzed the role of the C677T polymorphism of the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and the A66G polymorphism of the methionine synthase reductase genes as risk factors for occurrence of spina bifida. The studied population included 106 mothers and 104 children from affected families, and a control group of 100 adults. We found statistically significant differences between the occurrence of th...

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 subsequ...

This study examined the influence of juggling training on mental rotation ability in children with spina bifida. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 solved a chronometric mental rotation test. Half of the children received juggling training (EG) over an 8 week time period; the other half did not receive training (CG). Afterwards, all participants completed the mental rotation test again. Chil...
