ABSTRACT
Terminal myelocystocele (TMC) has been a puzzling entity of spinal dysraphism. It is found in the sacrococcygeal region usually forming a subcutaneous hump of various sizes. The wide variation of its morphology has been clarified by defining the essential and nonessential features as described in this chapter. Although it is not a common entity, TMC is attractive in that a highly plausible hypothesis on its pathoembryogenesis has been proposed based on observations on the secondary neurulation of the chick embryo. In this chapter, the embryology will be described, followed by the surgical strategy in accordance with the embryogenesis. The clinical features and prognosis will also be presented in detail.
