D. Spina bifida occulta
Explanation:
- Spina bifida occulta is the least serious form of neural tube defect. It involves a minor defect in the vertebral arch, usually asymptomatic, and typically does not involve the meninges or spinal cord. It is often discovered incidentally during imaging studies.
- Meningocele and meningomyelocele are more severe forms of spina bifida, involving protrusion of meninges and/or the spinal cord through the defect.
- Myloschiasis (or rachischisis) is a severe form of spina bifida where the neural tube fails to close, leaving the spinal cord exposed.
