Disease research snapshot
No clinical trials have been linked to this exact normalized concept in the current published dataset. This is a coverage limitation, not evidence that the condition or medicine has never been studied. Try a synonym or browse registry-reported labels.
Numbers are derived from CureCurrent's current ClinicalTrials.gov projection and conservative MONDO/RxNorm mappings. See sources, counting rules and limitations and verify eligibility or clinical findings with the original study record.

Lateral meningocele syndrome
Lateral meningocele syndrome, also known as Lehman syndrome, is a very rare skeletal disorder with facial anomalies, hypotonia, and meningocele-related neurologic dysfunction. These protrusions form from membranes surrounding the spinal cord in gaps in the spine (vertebrae). They most often occur in the lower spine and damage the surrounding nerves that spread throughout the rest of the body. Examples of resulting damages are bladder function, prickling or tingling sensations, stiffness and weakness in the legs, and back pain. People affected with lateral meningocele typically have high arched eyebrows, widely spaced eyes, droopy eyes, and other facial features. There have been only 14 reported individuals with lateral meningocele syndrome with 7 of those who have a molecularly confirmed diagnosis. There is no specific treatment for this syndrome, but only supportive management including lateral spinal meningoceles, psychomotor development, musculoskeletal, and routine management.

How to interpret this record
CureCurrent links normalized diseases, medicines, registry study labels, sponsors and research sites. A link is not the same as a finding of clinical effectiveness. Our research guides explain how to compare studies, decode RxNorm identities, and avoid over-interpreting site and trial counts. See the published database coverage for mapping completeness.
