Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelomeningocele is a severe form of spina bifida in which the spinal cord and meninges protrude through an opening in the spine. This results in motor and sensory deficits below the level of the lesion, as the nerves that control movement and sensation in the affected area are damaged or absent. Encephalocele and meningocele are also types of neural tube defects, but they do not typically result in motor and sensory deficits below the level of the lesion.
