Nerve roots3
- The exposed spinal cord and its nerve roots, which may protrude into the meningocele sac, and tension on the spinal cord as it moves cranially up the canal with elongation of the fetus (from L2, L3 in mid-late gestation, to L1 at birth), contribute to the variable picture of neural injury to the lower urinary tract and lower extremities.
