      <Abstract>Abstract Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the commonest type of neural tube defect; it represents a protrusion of neural tissue from a bony defect. Treatment of myelomeningocele depends on the size of the defect; with small ones, reconstruction with primary closure or local single flaps may be sufficient, while large (more than 5-8 cm) defects require more complicated reconstructive techniques. Flap necrosis is a major complication of large myelomeningocele repair. In our case, we discuss a new proposed method in post-surgical flap necrosis management based on good wound care, wound coverage, and healing by secondary intention.</Abstract>
