Meningocele is a neural tube defect that occurs early in pregnancy when a fluid-filled sac comes through an opening in the baby's back. The exact cause is still unknown. It is believed that a family history of neural tube defects and folate (vitamin B-9) deficiency may lead to meningocele. Some people may have few or no symptoms, while others can experience problems with their bladder and bowels. Surgery can repair meningocele prenatally or after birth.
