Surgical Repair of a Thoracic Meningocele in a Foal

Abstract: A 6 week old American Paint filly was admitted for evaluation of a dorsal thoracic mass suspected to be a meningocele. The diagnosis was confirmed by plain and contrast enhanced computed tomography. Surgical repair was performed by dissection of the base of the meningocele followed by ligation. No postoperative complications occurred. Contrast enhanced computed tomography was useful to confirm the diagnosis of meningocele and rule out a meningomyelocele.

“…Cranial localization is generally formed as frontal and occipital [1][2][3] . Meningocele may sometimes located at cervical [12] , thoracic [5] , lumbar [13] vertebral regions in other animals. Settlement of occipital meningoencephalocele case in the present study was in agreement with the literature data.…”

“…However, the actual defect has been considered to be related with the closure of the neural tube [2,3] . A hernia sac, made of skin without dura mater, is noteworthy in the defective region [2,4,5] . Defects have been reported to develop mostly in the frontal and occipital regions [2] .…”

“…In addition, the surgical correction of some malformations has been assisted by CT. These include treating a thoracic meningocele (Van Hoogmoed et al 1999) and a persistent right aortic arch (Bauer et al 2006). Furthermore, a case report describes the surgical treatment of a progressive ethmoidal haematoma assisted by CT (Colbourne et al 1997).…”
