Abstract
Mielomeningocele, a severe form of open spina bifida, is a congenital malformation of the central nervous system. Characterized by the exposure of the spinal cord and meninges due to a defect in neural tube closure during fetal development, the condition presents various neurological and medical complications throughout life. Treatment includes early closure of the defect to prevent infections and further damage to the spinal cord, along with a multidisciplinary approach to managing complications such as hydrocephalus, urological dysfunction, and musculoskeletal issues. Advances such as fetal surgery offer new perspectives, though they require further studies to validate their broad effectiveness. Folic acid supplementation is crucial in spina bifida prevention, underscoring the importance of maternal health. Economic and ethical considerations highlight the need for robust health policies to support these complex interventions.
