- Abstract
Fifteen children with prenatally diagnosed myelomeningocele were followed for at least three years to determine the relations between prenatal anatomic level visualized on high-resolution ultrasound, radiographic level, neuromotor level and functional motor outcome. Prenatal anatomic level accurately predicted neuromotor level and functional motor outcome in 12 of the children and was a better predictor than motor level at birth. Clinicians involved in prenatal counseling may use the anatomic level determined on high-resolution ultrasound to discuss motor prognosis with families.
