Meningohydroencephalocoele (AmE: meningohydroencephalocele) is a form of meningocele (AmE) - a developmental abnormality of the central nervous system. Like meningocoele, meningohydroencephalocoele is caused by defects in bone ossification; in particular, the intramembranous ossification related to the closure of infantile fontanelles. It refers to the protrusion of the meninges between the un-fused bones, to lie subcutaneously. * Meningocoele - refers to herniation of meninges. * Meningoencephalocoele refers to the condition if brain tissue is included with the meninges in the herniation. * Meningohydroencephalocoele refers to the condition including meninges, brain tissue and part of the ventricular system in the herniation. These defects occur in approximately 1 in 2000 live births == External links == * (Transphenoidal meningohydroencephalocoele, Durham et al. - PubMed ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meningohydroencephalocoele」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
