Myelomeningocele in slovenia: results of a 10 years follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of MMC in Slovenia between 2007 and 2017 was 1/10000 births. Our follow-up results are comparable with those of previous, larger studies and confirm the efficacy of treating hydrocephalus with ETV in selected cases and with CSF shunt only in cases of clearly increased intracranial pressure. By adopting this strategy, we reduced the CSF shunt rate to 65%. PMID: 30259717 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
