Meningohydroencephalocoele (AmE: meningohydroencephalocele) is a form of meningocele (AmE) – a developmental abnormality of the central nervous system. Like meningocoele meningohydroencephalocoele is caused by defects in bone ossification; in particular the intramembranous ossification related to the closure of infantile fontanelles. It refers to the protrusion of the meninges between the un-fused bones to lie subcutaneously. Meningocoele – refers to herniation of meninges.
