Meningohydroencephalocoele ( AmE: meningohydroencephalocele) is a form of meningocele ( AmE)—a developmental abnormality of the central nervous system.[ citation needed]
Like meningocoele, meningohydroencephalocoele is caused by defects in bone ossification; in particular, the intramembranous ossification related to the closure of infantile fontanelles. It refers to the protrusion of the meninges between the un-fused bones, to lie subcutaneously.[ citation needed]
Encephalocoele defects occur in approximately 1 in 2000 live births. [1]
