In brief
This retrospective study evaluates diffusion tensor imaging as a predictive biomarker for identifying which children will require CSF diversion surgery after prenatal myelomeningocele repair. The research aims to provide objective neuroimaging criteria to guide timing of hydrocephalus intervention in this patient population.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
The aim of this study was to investigate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), an objective and noninvasive neuroimaging technique, for its potential as an imaging biomarker to predict the need and timing of CSF diversion surgery in patients after prenatal myelomeningocele (MMC) repair. This was a retrospective analysis of data based on 35 pediatric patients after prenatal MMC repair (gestational age at…
