Introduction: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a malformation resulting from the neural tube's failure to close during embryonic development, and the majority of the cases of neural tube defects (NTDs) were prevalent as single location lesions along the spine; however, multiple NTDs (MNTDs) are a very rare condition. Only a few cases of MNTDs were found in the literature.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 2-month-old male infant prenatally diagnosed with MMC, presented with two unconnected lumbar and lumbosacral epidermal, soft, dome-shaped swellings located on both sides of the midline (paravertebral) covered by intact skin.
