Abstract

Spinal dysraphisms represent a large set of congenital anomalies reflecting an embryological abnormality in the closing of the neural tube. Their incidence would be 1 to 2 per 1000 births. We report the case of a patient Admitted for decrease in active foetal movements. On examination, we find a presence of a tri-ventricular hydrocephalus associated with a rounded mass integral with the cephalic pole, of liquid and anechoic tone of 53 mm, evoking a meningocele. Obstetric ultrasound is the only imaging examination performed in systematic screening. It would however be interesting to be able to diagnose DSF and differentiate it from DSO, because the therapeutic possibilities and the prognosis are different.
