Descriptor disrafia espinal
Entry term(s) espina bífida
estado disráfico
raquisquisis
Scope note: Defectos congénito del cierre de uno o más arcos vertebrales, que pueden estar asociados a malformaciones de la médula espinal, raíces de nervios, bandas fibrosas congénitas, lipomas, y quistes congénitos. Estas malformaciones van desde leves (por ejemplo, ESPINA BÍFIDA OCULTA) a graves, como la raquisquisis, en la que hay una ausencia total de la fusión del tubo neural y de la médula espinal, que produce exposición de la médula espinal en la superficie. La disrafia espinal incluye todas las formas de espina bífida. La forma abierta se conoce como ESPINA BÍFIDA QUÍSTICA y la forma cerrada como ESPINA BÍFIDA OCULTA.

Scope note: Congenital defects of closure of one or more vertebral arches, which may be associated with malformations of the spinal cord, nerve roots, congenital fibrous bands, lipomas, and congenital cysts. These malformations range from mild (e.g., SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA) to severe, including rachischisis where there is complete failure of neural tube and spinal cord fusion, resulting in exposure of the spinal cord at the surface. Spinal dysraphism includes all forms of spina bifida. The open form is called SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA and the closed form is SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, p34)
