Neonatal assessment of the child with a myelomeningocele.
Before control of hydrocephalus was feasible, surgical closure of a myelomeningocele was seldom attempted, and detailed neurological assessment attracted little or no interest. However, with the advances in neonatal surgery, infants who would previously have been registered as 'stillborn' are now reaching children's hospitals which must increasingly face the ethical problems they present.

متن کاملManagement of hydrocephalus in the patient with myelomeningocele: an argument against third ventriculostomy.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion will be required in these children for the remainder of their lives. Blockage of the outlets of the fourth ventricle and communication of the fourth ventricle with the central can...

متن کاملWhen should ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement be performed in cases with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus?
AIM The shunt infection rates vary from 2 to 39% among complications related to shunts used for hydrocephalus treatment. Shunt infections are reported to be more common than any other etiologies in newborn babies with myelomeningocele. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we performed a retrospective evaluation of 94 MM and HS cases that were treated in our clinics between 1994 and 2005. Compa...
متن کاملFetal surgery for myelomeningocele and the incidence of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus.
CONTEXT Intrauterine closure of exposed spinal cord tissue prevents secondary neurologic injury in animals with a surgically created spinal defect; however, whether in utero repair of myelomeningocele improves neurologic outcome in infants with spina bifida is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine whether intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele improves patient outcomes compared with standard car...
