Sites submitted should contain information on developmental malformations of the nervous system. If your site does not contain relevant information please submit it to the correct category. |
This category includes all developmental malformations of the nervous system - neural tube defects like Arnold-Chiari Malformation, Meningocele, Spina Bifida etc; Dandy Walker Syndrome; vascular malformations; Holoprosencephaly; Hydranencephaly; etc.
Sites concerning Anencephaly.
|
Only sites which have information relevant to Chiari Malformations, or offer support to those affected will be listed. If your submission does not meet this criteria please submit to the relevant category. |
Arnold-Chiari Malformation (ACM) is a condition in which the cerebellum portion of the brain protrudes into the spinal canal. ACM is also referred to simply as chiari (pronounced Kee-AR-ee).
|
This category contains sites related to Dandy Walker Syndrome. If your site is not associated please submit it to the correct category. |
Sites with informative content about Dandy Walker Syndrome, a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum and the fluid filled spaces around it.
| Only sites with information specific to Holoprosencephaly will be accepted. Generic sites should not be submitted to this category. Submitting to the wrong category will delay and/or prevent your site from being listed in the directory. |
This category contains information on Holoprosencephaly, a congenital malformation of the brain, characterised by various degrees of incomplete lobation of the brain hemispheres.Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is also known as Arhinencephaly.
Hydranencephaly is a rare central nervous system malformation that results in the near absence of the cerebral hemispheres, the "thinking" portion of the brain. They are replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
The lethal congenital contracture syndrome (LCCS, Herva disease) is an autosomal recessive syndrome that causes prenatal death of affected fetuses before the 32nd gestational week. Prenatal diagnosis is based on fetal akinesia, which is detectable in ultrasonography after the 14th gestational week. The akinesia develops due to degenaration of anterior horn motor neurons, which leads to multiple contractures of the joints. The other key features are slow growth, hydrops in early pregnancy and dysmorphic features.

Please submit sites specifically concerned with Lissencephaly. Sites not containing information on Lissencephaly should be submitted to the relevant category. |
Lissencephaly is a rare disorder characterized by the lack of normal convolutions in the brain and by a small head.
|
This category is for the listing of sites seeking to provide services and information related to spina bifida. Sites must be organizations dedicated to spina bifida advocacy and information. Submission Tips: Thank you for your cooperation. |
Spina Bifida (open spine) is a neural tube birth defect.
|
All sites must contain information related to or support groups concerned with Syringomyelia. If your site is not related to Syringomyelia please submit it to the correct category. |
Syringomyelia (pronounced sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord.
