Shunt placement and myelomeningocele repair: simultaneous vs sequential shunting. Review of 12 cases.

N E Epstein, A D Rosenthal, J Zito, M Osipoff.

Abstract

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.
