Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.

In neurology, the Chiari malformation (CM) is a structural defect in the cerebellum, characterized by a downward displacement of one or both cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull). Lipomeningomyelocele and Chiari malformation are congenital disorders of nervous system.

CT scan

A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and CT scan

Cyst

A cyst is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Cyst

Diastematomyelia

In neurology, diastematomyelia (occasionally diastomyelia) is a congenital disorder in which a part of the spinal cord is split, usually at the level of the upper lumbar vertebra in the longitudinal (sagittal) direction. Lipomeningomyelocele and diastematomyelia are congenital disorders of nervous system.

Dimple

A dimple, also called a gelasin, and a fovea buccalis, is a small natural indentation in the flesh on a part of the human body, most notably in the cheek.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Dimple

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (United States) or Down's syndrome (United Kingdom and other English-speaking nations), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Down syndrome

Ectoderm

The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers formed in early embryonic development.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Ectoderm

Fat

In nutrition, biology, and chemistry, fat usually means any ester of fatty acids, or a mixture of such compounds, most commonly those that occur in living beings or in food.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Fat

Fecal incontinence

Fecal incontinence (FI), or in some forms, encopresis, is a lack of control over defecation, leading to involuntary loss of bowel contents, both liquid stool elements and mucus, or solid feces.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Fecal incontinence

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus. The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Gastrointestinal tract

Human musculoskeletal system

The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Human musculoskeletal system

Infantile hemangioma

An infantile hemangioma (IH), sometimes called a strawberry mark due to appearance, is a type of benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects babies.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Infantile hemangioma

Lipoma

A lipoma is a benign tumor made of fat tissue.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Lipoma

Lumbar vertebrae

The lumbar vertebrae are located between the thoracic vertebrae and pelvis.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Lumbar vertebrae

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Magnetic resonance imaging

Meninges

In anatomy, the meninges (meninx) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Meninges

Mesoderm

The mesoderm is the middle layer of the three germ layers that develops during gastrulation in the very early development of the embryo of most animals.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Mesoderm

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neoplasm

Nervous system

In biology, the nervous system is the highly complex part of an animal that coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Nervous system

Neural plate

In embryology, the neural plate is a key developmental structure that serves as the basis for the nervous system.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neural plate

Neural tube

In the developing chordate (including vertebrates), the neural tube is the embryonic precursor to the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neural tube

Neural tube defect

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of birth defects in which an opening in the spine or cranium remains from early in human development. Lipomeningomyelocele and Neural tube defect are congenital disorders of nervous system.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neural tube defect

Neurology

Neurology (from νεῦρον (neûron), "string, nerve" and the suffix -logia, "study of") is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the nervous system, which comprises the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neurology

Neurulation

Neurulation refers to the folding process in vertebrate embryos, which includes the transformation of the neural plate into the neural tube.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Neurulation

Notochord

In zoology and developmental anatomy, the notochord is an elastic, rod-like anatomical structure found in many deuterostomal animals.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Notochord

Osteotomy

An osteotomy is a surgical operation whereby a bone is cut to shorten or lengthen it or to change its alignment.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Osteotomy

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the time during which one or more offspring develops (gestates) inside a woman's uterus (womb).

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Pregnancy

Scoliosis

Scoliosis (scolioses) is a condition in which a person's spine has an irregular curve.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Scoliosis

Spina bifida

Spina bifida (SB; /ˌspaɪnə ˈbɪfɪdə/, Latin for 'split spine') is a birth defect in which there is incomplete closing of the spine and the membranes around the spinal cord during early development in pregnancy. Lipomeningomyelocele and spina bifida are congenital disorders of nervous system.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Spina bifida

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Spinal cord

Subcutaneous tissue

The subcutaneous tissue, also called the hypodermis, hypoderm, subcutis, or superficial fascia, is the lowermost layer of the integumentary system in vertebrates.

See Lipomeningomyelocele and Subcutaneous tissue

Surgery

Surgery is a medical specialty that uses manual and instrumental techniques to diagnose or treat pathological conditions (e.g., trauma, disease, injury, malignancy), to alter bodily functions (i.e., malabsorption created by bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass), to reconstruct or improve aesthetics and appearance (cosmetic surgery), or to remove unwanted tissues (body fat, glands, scars or skin tags) or foreign bodies.
