Diagnostic features of myelomeningocele: the role of ultrafast fetal MRI.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful adjunct to ultrasound in the evaluation of neural tube defects. The development of ultrafast imaging techniques has contributed to the increasing clinical use of fetal MRI. This review summarizes the utility, safety and technical aspects of fetal MRI and the role it plays in the evaluation of myelomeningocele. Emphasis is placed on the benefit of fetal MRI as it pertains to presurgical planning and perinatal management.

Improvement in hindbrain herniation demonstrated by serial fetal magnetic resonance imaging following fetal surgery for myelomeningocele.
CONTEXT Hindbrain herniation occurs in a large percentage of children with myelomeningocele and is the leading cause of death in this population. The effect of early fetal closure of myelomeningocele on hindbrain herniation is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether early fetal closure of myelomeningocele affects hindbrain herniation. DESIGN Case series of patients undergoing fetal myelomen...

Background and purpose: Ultra sonography is the method of choice in pre-natal diagnosis of fetal anomalies however, sonography has limitations in oligohydramnios, maternal obesity and complex fetal anomalies. MRI, is a method with high contrast resolution, large FOV for fetus, placenta and uterine, along with multiplanar images. The aim of our study is to compare the sonographic and MRI findi...

متن کاملFetal magnetic resonance imaging enhances detection of spinal cord anomalies in patients with sonographically detected bony anomalies of the spine.
OBJECTIVE Although fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being increasingly used to evaluate sonographically suspected abnormalities, its utility in the evaluation of the spinal canal is not well studied. Because it is not susceptible to the limitations of fetal position, oligohydramnios, and shadowing from bony structures, we hypothesize that fetal MRI is better suited to assess the conten...
