Abstract

To compare prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of spina bifida with postnatal MRI/surgical findings and to study the postnatal outcome in relation to the level of lesion and head signs on antenatal imaging. A retrospective study of babies referred to a tertiary neurosurgical unit with a diagnosis of spina bifida in the years 2000-2002 was performed. The levels of lesions and head signs diagnosed using antenatal ultrasonography and MRI were compared with postnatal MRI and operative findings. The levels of lesions and head signs diagnosed pre- and postnatally were used to study the correlation with neurological outcome at a mean follow-up period of 12 months. Twelve antenatally diagnosed and five postnatally diagnosed cases of spina bifida were seen. The level of lesion as identified by antenatal ultrasound correlated with that observed postnatally in 8/12 cases and the antenatal ultrasound diagnosis of ventriculomegaly was confirmed postnatally in all cases. The level of lesion as identified by antenatal MRI correlated with that observed postnatally in 4/8 cases (50%) and the antenatal MRI diagnosis of ventriculomegaly was confirmed postnatally in 5/8 (63%) cases. 12/17 babies were foun...Continue Reading
