Thedifferential diagnosis must be founded on the absence of symptoms inmeningocele, and on the paralytic conditions in myelocystocele. The only possible effective treatment in either of the more favorableforms of spina bifida (meningocele and myelocystocele) is by some formof operation. We can, however, assure the childs parents that menin-gocele is not necessarily very serious; but that a child the victim ofmyelocystocele, if it should not die yo

Spina Bifida.—Spina bifida is the term applied to a congenital cleftin the vertebral column which permits of a hernia of part of the con-tents of the canal. The defect is found most frequently in the cervicalor lower dorsal vertebra?. In meningocele of the cord the membranes alone constitute the hernialsac.

In meningocele there is a protrusion of the membranes of the DISEASES OF THE BRAIN 22Z brain through an opening in the skull or spinal column. Thetumor is usually in the form of a sac filled with fluid. In encephalocele there is, in addition to the membranes, aprotrusion of some of the brain substance. SPINA BIFIDA There i
RM2AWD4X4–The practice of surgery . SPINA BIFIDA 683 We see then that spina bifida, so called, is a general term which des-ignates spinal tumors of varying character and gravity. For example,meningocele may give rise to few symptoms; may inconvenience thepatient from its size merely; may be carried through many years oflife, and may be threatening only from its liability to ulceration and rup-ture. Spinal hernias containing nervous elements, on the other hand,generally cause various paralytic symptoms—especially paralyses ofthe bladder and rectum, and motor and sensory disturbances of thelegs. Myelocele

Although the tumor is generally associated with a bifid spine, thisis not necessarily the case. The protrusion may take place through theintervertebral notch or foramen, or there may be a fissure of the bodiesof the vertebrae, and an anterior tumor projecting into the cavity of thethorax, abdomen, or pelvis; the tumor may be so small as not to be recog-nized externally—spina bifida occulta. The principal anatomical varie-ties are meningocele, meningomyelocele, and syringomyelocele. Meningocele.

If the meninges alone form the mass, itis called Meningocele. There is usually a combination of both anomalies. Cyclopia is characterized by a mass in the forehead consisting of fusionof both eyes. When in addition to the latter there is also absence of thenose, the anomaly is called Arhinencephalia. Spinal Cord.—The most common variety of malformations of thespinal cord is Spina bifida. It is due to a defect in the development of thevertebral arches, which failed
