A member asked:
Woman with meningomyelocele if pregnant what are the outcomes of the baby?is it hereditary ?any successful normal babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Higher risk: Meningomyeloceles are part of a group of neural tube developmental malformations called "open neural tube defects". They generally occur spontaneously in about 1:1000 pregnancies but can be more common in certain situations. A series of sequential prenatal tests (blood, ultrasound and invasive i.e. Amniocentesis) can help detect babies so afflicted.
