LA02.02 Myelocystocele

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2025-01

A condition caused by failure of the neural tube to close completely during fetal development. The condition is characterised by skin covered lumbosacral masses, an arachnoid lined meningocele that is directly continuous with the spinal subarachnoid space, and a low lying hydromyelic spinal cord that traverses the meningocele and expands into a large terminal cyst. This condition can present with neural damage and consequent impairment of function below the site of the myelocystocele.
