Spinal cord herniation in children is one of the difficult to treat and complex congenital malformations in newborns, which accounts for 65% of all congenital malformations of the central nervous system.

The only treatment for congenital spinal cord herniation (CSCH) is surgical intervention, which is carried out taking into account the age of a child, location of hernia, size of spinal defect, and degree of hydrocephalus.
