چکیده
Neural tube defect with its global involvement of nervous system has lot of implications. There is cotroversy in terms of timing of repair, simultaneous or metachronous ventriculoperitoneal shunt and criteria for shunt surgery in neonatal age.

نقص لوله عصبی یکی از ناهنجاریهای مادرزادی مهم و شایع می باشد که شیوع آن بیش از ۵/ ۴ در ۱۰۰۰ تولد زنده است. اتیولوژی و پاتوژنز بیماری هنوز ناشناخته است. مطالعات اخیر بر روی حیوانات نشان می دهد که این ناهنجاری ممکن است، ناشی از متابولیسم غیر طبیعی هموسیستئین باشد. در مطالعات اخیر مشخص شده است که پیشگیری از نقص لوله عصبی (NTD) بوسیله اسیدفولیک مؤثر می باشد.
متن کاملSupplementary comment on "analysis of risk factors for infection in coplacement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt".
Patients with severe neurological impairment requiring tube feeding may have concomitant hydrocephalus. Coplacement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is currently standard in such cases. The present study investigated the risk factors for shunt infection in such patients. The medical records of 23 patients with PEG and VP shunting were retrospec...
