Late Prenatal Development of Hindbrain Herniation in Open Spina Bifida

We conclude by recommending serial ultrasound surveillance of presumed closed spina bifida as these may be in fact open defects, with confirmatory diagnosis only possible later in pregnancy. This detection is important because it may change counseling since prenatal repair or planned delivery may be warranted.

Abstract

We conclude by recommending serial ultrasound surveillance of presumed closed spina bifida as these may be in fact open defects, with confirmatory diagnosis only possible later in pregnancy. This detection is important because it may change counseling since prenatal repair or planned delivery may be warranted.
