Shunt placement and myelomeningocele repair: simultaneous vs sequential shunting. Review of 12 cases.
The optimal management of patients with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus is facilitated by a constant review of the patients with the aid of the sonogram and CT scan. Six infants treated with simultaneous shunt placement and myelomeningocele repair were compared with six other neonates treated with conventional sequential myelomeningocele repairs requiring a second separate procedure for shunt placement. Infants operated upon simultaneously experienced no increase in morbidity or mortality and appeared to benefit substantially.
Moderate grade astrocytoma presenting in a 4-month-old child with a family history of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis spanning four generations: a case report.
Intracranial gliomas are found in association with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. However, few truly neonatal lesions have been identified and studied. This case report concerns a 4-month-old child who was found to have a massive thalamic glioma of moderate grade. Four paternal generations had suffered from different manifestations of this transmissible autosomal-dominant (Ad) phakomatosis.
