Abstract

We had experienced a case of meningomyelocele combined with Arnold-Chiari malformation. This neonate had her birth weight of 2,960 gm after 41 weeks of gestation. At birth, he noticed the Apgar Score of 0, so he was resuscitated immediately. On physical examination, he noticed large head and fist sized mass on back. Inspite of intensive care, he was expired at 2 hours after birth. We confirmed this case by-autopsy, and report this rare case with brief review of the related literature.
