Meningomyelocele, also commonly known as myelomeningocele, is a type of spina bifida. Spina bifida is a birth defect in which the spinal canal and the backbone don't close before the baby is born. This type of birth defect is also called a neural tube defect.
Myelomeningocele is the most serious type of spina bifida. With this condition, a sac of fluid comes through an opening in the baby's back. Part of the spinal cord and nerves are in this sac and are damaged.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11. 06: Recurrent pterygium of eye.
Intraspinal abscess and granuloma The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G06. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Spina bifida refers to any birth defect in which the neural tube in the area of the spine fails to close completely. Myelomeningocele is a neural tube defect in which the bones of the spine do not completely form.
Basically, spina bifida cystica is classified into meningocele, in which the herniated dural sac is filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and meningomyelocele, in which the sac also contains parts of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Recurrent pterygium of unspecified eye H11. 069 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H11. 069 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Paraspinal abscess is a collection of pus located around the spinal cord. This is usually seen as a complication of vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis (diskitis) but may be related to hematogenous seeding during bloodstream infection.

The paraspinal muscles, sometimes called the erector spinae, are three muscle groups that support your back. You use them every time you lean to one side, arch your back, bend forward, or twist your torso.
Generally, medical professionals state that about 90% of patients with SB will live past their third decade of life. However this number has increased over the years because of improvements in medical technology so it has increased the life expectancy of patients born with spina bifida.
How is it treated? Most cases of myelomeningocele are treated surgically with a repair soon after birth. In some cases, the repair is done while still in the womb prior to delivery. Children that have hydrocephalus will likely require surgery to decrease fluid on the brain (VP shunt).
Symptoms of MyelomeningoceleProblems moving parts of the body below the opening in the back.Lack of sensation in their legs and feet.Poor or no bowel and bladder control.Twisted or abnormal legs and feet; for example, clubfoot.Too much cerebrospinal fluid in the head (hydrocephalus)More items...
Accumulation of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus). Babies born with myelomeningocele commonly experience accumulation of fluid in the brain, a condition known as hydrocephalus.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
A form of multiple endocrine neoplasia characterized by the presence of medullary carcinoma (carcinoma, medullary) of the thyroid gland , and usually with the co-occurrence of pheochromocytoma, producing calcitonin and adrenaline, respectively.
It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Multiple endocrine neoplasia caused by mutation of the ret gene.
Lateral meningocoele is a very rare disorder characterized by extensions of the dura and arachnoid through an enlarged neural foramen. We report a case of a 23-year-old female with deformity of spine who presented with low back pain and no neurological deficits.
Lateral meningocele is a rare presentation of spinal dysraphism characterized by extensions of the dura and arachnoid through an enlarged neural foramen.
A 23-year-old female patient presented with 6-month history of low back pain and associated spine deformity. On neurological examination higher mental functions, cranial nerves, motor, and sensory systems were normal. There were no focal neurological deficits. Bowel and bladder functions were normal. Her spinal column appeared kyphotic.
Lateral or anterior spinal meningocoeles are relatively rare congenital anomalies where protrusion of dura mater and arachnoid extending laterally through an enlarged intervertebral foramen into the paraspinal, intrathoracic, or retroperitoneal region.
Bilateral multiple level menigocoele without association with Neurofibromatosis or Marfan's syndrome is a rare entity. MRI best depicts the lesions. Surgeons and radiologists should be aware of this rare clinical entity. As the patient is asymptomatic, she is currently being managed conservatively.
