Summary

The treatment of a boy is reported, who suffered from a combination of vesico-intestinal fissure and meningocystocele. Because five of seven patients known to us since 1969 had a similar combination, it should be analysed whether there exists an etiological or embryological connection. Therefore the pertinent literature and clinical data of known patients was collected and evaluated. It can be shown that also in the literature a coincidence of 75% of vesico-intestinal fissure and meningomyelocele is reported and both are caused during the 4th week of embryological development. Vesico-intestinal fissure is a disturbance of mesodermal inflow into the lower abdominal wall. The cause for meningocystocele is an abnormal cell proliferation of the neural anlage. Despite a number of possible clues an etiological connection could not be proved.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird über die Behandlung eines Jungen mit einer Kombinationsfehlbildung aus vesico-intestinaler Spalte und Meningocystocele berichtet. Da bei sieben uns seit 1969 bekannten Patienten fünf eine ähnliche Kombination aufwiesen, sollte geklärt werden, ob es einen ätiologischen oder embryologischen Zusammenhang gibt. Dazu wurden die einschlägige Literatur und die klinischen Daten unserer Patienten zusammengetragen und ausgewertet. Es zeigt sich, daß beide Mißbildungskomplexe auch in der Literatur eine Coincidenz von bis zu 75% aufwiesen und wohl auf eine Störung im Bereich der 4. Embryonalwoche zurückgehen. Ursache für die vesicointestinale Spalte ist eine Hemmung des mesodermalen Einstroms in die vordere Bauchwand, für die Meningocystocele eine übermäßige Proliferation der Zellen der Neuralplatte. Ein ätiologischer Zusammenhang konnte trotz vieler zwingender Hinweise nicht bewiesen werden.
