Perforation of the cavum septi pellucidi in open spina bifida: association with need for hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age

CONCLUSIONS: The detection of a pCSP in fetuses with ONTD can reliably identify those cases at highest risk for needing hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age. The evaluation of this brain structure can greatly improve our counseling to families considering fetal surgery for ONTD, in order to set expectations about postnatal outcome.
