Meningomyelocele, one of the neural tube defect (NTD) variants, is a condition in which meninges and neural tissue protrudes through a defect in vertebral arch and forms a cyst-like sac with an incidence of 0.5–11/1000 live births. Hydrocephalus is a major problem for majority of patients with meningomyelocele due to the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain. Meticulous preoperative evaluation with planning of the anesthetic technique, especially in regard to managing the airway, plays a crucial role in successful surgical management of these cases. Here, we report a case of lumbosacral meningomyelocele with hydrocephalus underwent a multimodal treatment approach for providing a comprehensive plan of care.
