Myelomeningocele Associated with Deletion of 22q11 and Normal Posterior Fossa: Prenatal Diagnosis
Author(s): Adeleh Dadkhah and Ladan Younesi
Background: Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele is the most common nonlethal neural tube defect in North America, that is associated with some anomalous development of brain structure especially chiari-malformation, musculoskeletal system, renal system, and cardiovascular system. Genetic factors are infrequent causes of NTDs such as deletion of 22q11. Case presentation: Prenatal ultrasonography of 29 week aged fetus with normal maternal serum alpha fetoprotein found polyhydramnios and abnormal cystic mass in lower spine recommended for myelomeningocele. Fetus MRI demonstrated terminal closed myelomeningocele and tethered cord, obliteration of cisterna magna without other cerebral anomalies such as Chiari II malformation.
