Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelomeningocele is a type of spina bifida that involves a protrusion of the spinal cord and meninges through a gap in the vertebrae. The most common treatment for this condition is surgical correction to close the opening and protect the exposed spinal cord. Drugs may be used to manage symptoms or prevent infections, physical therapy may be used to improve mobility and function, and a shunt may be required in some cases to manage hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain), but surgery is the primary treatment for myelomeningocele.
