HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Myelocystocele is characterized by a large, ependyma-lined, cystic dilation of the caudal end of the central canal of the spinal cord; it projects dorsally through a lamina defect, with overlying varying amounts of lipomatous subcutaneous tissue. Myelocystoceles are associated with a tethered cord and meningocele, which communicates with the spinal subarachnoid space, but not with the central canal cyst.
Comment:Localized dilatation of the central canal of the spinal cord which produces a fluid-filled sac or diverticulum which then protrudes through the cord and the defective dorsal dura between the posterior parts of the vertebra.
Synonyms:xref: SNOMEDCT_US:203994003;   SNOMEDCT_US:414667000;   UMLS:C0025312
