    This study analyzed 40 spinal dysraphism cases, finding meningocele cases fully cured after surgery. Myelomeningocele cases saw arrested neurological decline, but hydrocephalus presence indicated a grave prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Spinal dysraphism encompasses a spectrum of congenital anomalies.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation and outcomes is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the age at presentation, incidence, and clinical features of spinal dysraphism.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes for different types of spinal dysraphism.
    • To assess the prognostic significance of associated hydrocephalus.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 40 patients with spinal dysraphism.
    • Classification into 'aperta' (myelomeningocele, meningocele) and 'occulta' groups.
    • Surgical intervention and myelography used for treatment decisions.

    Main Results:

    • Incidence varied between 'aperta' (1:1 male:female) and 'occulta' (2.2:1 male:female) groups.
    • Firstborn infants were most affected (44.50%).
    • Complete cure for meningocele; arrested deterioration for myelomeningocele.
    • Hydrocephalus occurred in 8/13 myelomeningocele cases, requiring VP shunt; 10% mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical outcomes differ significantly based on spinal dysraphism type.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are vital.
    • Hydrocephalus is a critical negative prognostic factor in myelomeningocele.
