Fetal ventriculomegaly (VM) and its severity and associated central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities are important indicators of high risk for impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Recently, a novel fetal brain age prediction method using a two-dim...
BACKGROUND: The treatment of hydrocephalus has evolved over centuries from being an enigma to the use of complex bioprosthetics. Major developments have taken place in the past few decades in shunt hardware and technology, with the use of complex flo...
BACKGROUND: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common procedure used in the management of hydrocephalus regardless of the etiology. The standard free-hand technique is used for the placement of VPS in patients with enlarged ventricles. In p...
IMPORTANCE: Which children with fetal ventriculomegaly, or enlargement of the cerebral ventricles in utero, will develop hydrocephalus requiring treatment after birth is unclear.
