A male infant with a myelomeningocele (diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound) was delivered vaginally. He was floppy and apneic at delivery and required one minute of positive pressure ventilation. Apgars were 4 and 7 at 1 and 5 minutes respectively. The fontanels were bulging but soft, there was a sacral tuft of hair and there were neurological deficits below the myelomeningocele.
