title: Double myelomeningocele: case report.
abstract: Double myelomeningocele is very rare, with only a few cases are published in the world's literature. The mechanism of this form of neural tube defects constitutes a challenging problem. The authors present an unusual case of a 3 month-old child, with two myelomeningoceles, one at the cervical level and the other at the lumbar level, without hydrocephalus or Chiari malformation.
