This document covers a variety of topics in neurosurgery including hydrocephalus, spinal dysraphism, dermoid cysts, head injuries, fracture spine management, brain tumors, cerebro-vascular stroke, cervical and lumbar spondylosis, disc pathology, and peripheral nerve entrapment neuropathies. Guidelines for screening patients with suspected injuries and X-ray evaluation are also discussed at a high level.

11. SPINAL DYSRAPHISM
This term encompasses all spinal

along the sinus tract and often lie
adjacent to the conus

detect neural elements
extending into the sac.
