Cervical saccular limited dorsal myeloschisis, so-called "cervical myelomeningocele": long-term follow-up of a single-center series and systematic review.

Patients with cervical saccular LDM had better outcome compared with those patients with true myelomeningocele in more distal areas. According to the current series, most patients obtained ambulation and voiding continence, regardless of the level or type of lesion. Hydrocephalus, Chiari type II malformation, and neurological deficit were more common in patients with myelocystocele-type lesions.
