We present cases of atypical MMC occurring in the region of secondary neurulation. These cases provide clues that secondary neurulation may lead to open neural defects. Future experiments with animal models supporting what we have seen in the clinics will greatly enhance the understanding of the developmental process of neurulation and the corresponding anomalies.
