SINDROME DE MEDULA ESPINAL ANCLADA ASOCIADA A VEJIGA NEUROGENICA EN PACIENTES PEDIÁTRICOS CON MIELOMENINGOCELE EN EL HOSPITAL “DR. ROBERTO GILBERT ELIZALDE” DE GUAYAQUIL, 2013-2017

Abstract

Myelomeningocele is a congenital pathology in which there is a defect of closure of the caudal portion of the neural tube at the end of the first month of pregnancy, leaving exposed spinal cord, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid and nerve roots of the affected area. This will cause sensorimotor paralysis. This pathology is associated with other pathologies such as hydrocephalus, neurogenic bladder, Arnold-Chiari type II malformation, Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome among others. Its main cause of death is renal failure (CKD) caused by a Neurogenic bladder (VN), which if not detected in time leads to CKD, as well as VN can be caused by a Tethered spinal cord syndrome not diagnosed. The purpose of the study is to find a significant association between the Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome and the Neurogenic bladder.
