The authors present the results of reconstructive surgery on an open myelomeningocele in the lumbar region, the defect being accompanied by a large skin defect and the vertebrae malformed in form of bone hump. During the surgery two vertebral bodies were removed from the top of the hump, resulting in a proper closure of the myelomeningocele.
