Arnold Chiari Type II malformation with lumboscral Myelomeninogocele.

 MRI of Spine of a child. What is the diagnosis? 

Myelomeningocoele, also known as spina bifida cystica, is a complex congenital spinal anomaly that results in spinal cord malformation. It results from failure of fusion of neural folds dorsally during embryogenesis. There is a localised defect of the closure of caudal neuropore with persistence of neural placode (open spinal cord). There is assocaited herniation pf cerebellar tonsils and brain stem, suggesting type II Arnold Chiari Malformation.

If IUI or OI/TI CYCLE  one or two dominant follicles are recruited  If IVF cycle multiple follicles are recruited  Mention number of follicle and sizes .. measure in two dimensions at least (each follicle) 2. Till the follicle size reaches 17-18 mm .. time to go for pick up in IVF cycles or for trigger in IUI or oi and ti cycles Usually follicles grow at speed of 1-2 mm per day  3. Regarding endometrium when u do day2/3  scan endometrium should be thin (<5mm) ... if it is thick than do see endometrium again once period is over (day 5-6) ...
