“…The classification of cervical cystic lesions is under debate. [ 14 ] In 1985, McLone and Naidich defined terminal sacral myelomeningocele as a type of closed spinal dysraphism characterized by a skin-covered mass in the posterior midline, along with a narrow posterior spina bifida and a cyst containing cerebrospinal fluid. [ 15 ] In the early 1990s, Steinbok and Cochrane proposed the hypothesis of limited dorsal myeloschisis and categorized myelomeningocele into two types: meningocele and myelocystocele.…”

Prenatal diagnosis of myelomeningocele remains challenging for obstetricians, ultrasonographers, and radiologists, although the increased maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein level aids in the confirmative diagnosis. Fetal cervical myelomeningocele and meningocele are very rare and unique types of myelomeningocele. Prenatal diagnosis of cervical myelomeningocele and meningocele should include the differential diagnosis and association of many intracranial and spino-skeletal pathogenetic variants and genetic diseases, including subependymal nodular heterotopia and Klippel–Feil syndrome. In this report, a comprehensive review of fetal cervical myelomeningocele with its prenatal diagnosis and long-term outcomes is presented.
