Abstract in brief

  • Neural tube dysraphisms are birth defects caused by improper development of the nervous system along the head and spine, with larger or open lesions being more obvious, while smaller or covered ones can be hidden.
  • Because the skin and nervous system develop closely together, skin abnormalities can often indicate underlying neural tube issues, especially in hidden cases.
  • The article reviews typical signs, skin markers, and the best imaging methods to diagnose these craniospinal malformations effectively.]
