Abstract

The distribution of postnatally repaired myelomengocele (MMC) lesions, characterized by neurologic and radiologic assessment, and the incidence of shunting were determined and correlated by a retrospective chart review of 297 patients followed at the spina bifida clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
