Prenatal and Postnatal Imaging Findings After Fetal Repair of Spinal Dysraphisms Using Cryopreserved Human Umbilical Cord Patch: A Case Series of 4 Patients (original) (raw)

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography

Abstract

We describe a case series of imaging findings of 4 patients who underwent spinal dysraphisms repair in utero with novel patch material, cryopreserved human umbilical cord, in our institution. In our study, the prenatal and postnatal magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are reviewed and showed cord tethering and syrinx progression in all cases. Our report is the first description of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound findings in the context of using this novel patch in severe cases of spinal dysraphisms.
