An asymptomatic large anterior sacral Meningocele in a patient with a history of gestation: a case report with radiological findings. Case Rep Radiol 2013;2013:ID842620
2016Co-Authors: Mehmet BeyazalAbstract:which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Anterior sacral Meningocele is characterized by herniation of the meningeal sac due to a developmental bone defect in the front of a sacrum bone. It was first described in 1837. The sacral Meningocele may be congenital or acquired. It is usually discovered during a rectal or pelvic examination as a cystic lesion or discovered incidentally. Most of the symptoms are due to compression on the adjacent organs. In this paper, we present a case of an asymptomatic female patient who had a pelvic cyst detected during a routine obstetric ultrasound examination. We show radiological findings of the detailed postpartum evaluation of the cyst, which led to detection of sacral agenesis, huge anterior sacral Meningocele, and significant arcuate uterus. 1

Intestinal mucosa on top of a rudimentary occipital Meningocele in amniotic rupture sequence: disorganization-like syndrome, homeotic transformation, abnormal surface encounter or endoectodermal adhesion?
2002Co-Authors: Donkelaar, H.j. Ten, Hamel B.c.j., Hartman E.h.m., Lier, J.a. Van, Wesseling P.Abstract:We present a case of a peculiar rudimentary occipital Meningocele that was surgically removed when the patient (a boy) was 5 months of age. The patient also had distal transverse defects of both hands. The association of congenital scalp defects and distal congenital hand anomalies is relatively rare and one form is known as the Adams-Oliver syndrome. To our surprise, microscopic examination revealed intestinal mucosa on top of the skin tag containing the rudimentary Meningocele. No comparable cases were found in the literature. We discuss the following possible explanations for this peculiar situation: 1) disorganization-like syndrome; 2) homeotic transformation; 3) abnormal surface encounter between the epidermis and remnants of the yolk sac or omphalo-enteric duct; and 4) endoectodermal adhesion in the presomite embryo

Meningocele manque discovered during filum terminale resection in occult tethered cord syndrome
World Neurosurgery, 2019Co-Authors: Wesley M Durand, Amanda Baker, Alan H Daniels, Jeffrey M Rogg, Matthew Z. Anderson, Petra M KlingeAbstract:Background Meningocele manque (MM) is characterized by tethering of the spinal cord, nerve roots, or filum terminale by fibrous attachments formed by atrophic or incomplete Meningoceles. Patients with MM can present with symptoms of tethered cord syndrome (TCS). Case Description We present the case of an MM discovered incidentally during microsurgical resection of filum terminale for occult TCS. The MM was not visible on the preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. After L2-L3 laminotomy, an extradural mass was appreciated adherent to the spinal dura, which was found to be an MM. The nerve roots of the cauda equina were found to protrude through the dura, consistent with tethered cauda equina. After microsurgical resection of the filum terminale, the tethered cauda nerve roots were stimulated, and redundant electromyographic signals were detected at both the left- and the right-sided muscles of the lower extremities. Microsurgical repair of the MM was performed, assuming that the patient's symptoms of TCS would also be explained by the MM and that her symptoms would likely have been incompletely addressed by filum terminale release alone. A review of the preoperative 3-dimensional constructive interference in steady state MRI sequence revealed pathological features at the L2-L3 level suspicious for our intraoperative findings of an MM. Conclusions Surgeons planning filum terminale release for occult TCS should always be aware of the possibility of associated pathological features of tethering that might be overlooked. In retrospect, the detection of MM was enabled by the high-resolution 3-dimensional constructive interference in steady state MRI sequence. This finding advocates for the use of high-resolution MRI for patients undergoing evaluation for occult TCS to detect pathological features that might otherwise be undetected.
