Meningocoele manqué is a congenital anomaly relating to the spinal cord, cauda equina and the filum terminale commonly found on exploration of the spinal cord in cases of spina bifida occulta. The anomalies consist of fibrous bands, aberrant nerve roots and adhesions within the theca which may tether or press on the neural structures so interfering with nerve conduction and causing increasing neurological deficit. Treatment is to free the neural structures from these bands and adhesions surgically. An account is given of 45 cases with a discussion of their similarity to cases of meningocoele, thus justifying the naming of a previously undescribed clinical entity. Meningocoele manqué demonstrates the relation of spina bifida occulta to spina bifida cystica as having a similar origin differing only in degree of severity. All the cases discussed are drawn from a personal series of 200 cases of spina bifida occulta which have had surgical exploration of the spinal cord.
隐性脊膜膨出是一种与脊髓、马尾和终丝相关的先天性异常，常见于隐性脊柱裂病例的脊髓探查中。这些异常包括纤维带、异常神经根和硬脊膜内的粘连，它们可能会束缚或压迫神经结构，从而干扰神经传导并导致神经功能缺损加重。治疗方法是通过手术将神经结构从这些带和粘连中松解出来。本文报告了45例病例，并讨论了它们与脊膜膨出病例的相似性，从而证明了一个先前未描述的临床实体的命名是合理的。隐性脊膜膨出表明隐性脊柱裂与囊性脊柱裂具有相似的起源，只是严重程度不同。所讨论的所有病例均来自个人的200例隐性脊柱裂病例系列，这些病例均进行了脊髓手术探查。
