Limited Dorsal Myeloschisis
Subspecialty: Spinal dysraphism
Type: Clinical Summary
Focal spinal nondisjunction disorders, such as limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) and congenital spinal dermal sinus tract (CSDST), arise from faults during primary neurulation, resulting in various spinal dysraphic lesions commonly managed in pediatric neurosurgery. This review article provides an extensive examination of the embryogenetic mechanisms, pathological anatomy, clinical manifestations, and management strategies related to these conditions.
