ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the management of myelomenigocele.BACKGROUND:
Spinal dysraphism or neural tube defects (NTD) encompass a heterogeneous group of congenital spinal anomalies that result from the defective closure of the neural tube early in gestation. Myelomeningocele is the most common type of NTD that is compatible with life, with high survival rates but lifelong physical impairments.CONCLUSION:
MRI is an important adjunct to ultrasound in assessing NTD, as it pertains to pre-surgical planning and perinatal management. However, it should not be considered a replacement for ultrasonography, which continues to be the gold standard for fetal anatomic evaluation.Palavras-chave
