Abstract

Abstract Objectives Spina bifida manifests in various forms, and the clinical imaging findings depend on the level of the vertebral defect. It is difficult to predict the severity of the neurological symptoms and the degree of urgency of early treatment antenatally. Case presentation In the present case report of fetal myelomeningocele (MMC), three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound showed accurate findings of fetal back surficial skin and tissue defect. The neonatologist and surgeons were able to decide upon appropriate treatment strategies on the basis of these findings. Conclusions 3D ultrasound helps provide information to neonatologists and neurosurgeons about the initial treatment and illustrates the physical appearance of the disease for the parents of the unborn child.

脊髓脊膜膨出的超声诊断:三维超声在确定病理病变表面状态中的作用

摘要目的脊柱裂表现形式多样，临床影像学表现与椎体缺损程度有关。很难预测神经症状的严重程度和产前早期治疗的紧急程度。本病例报告胎儿脊髓脊膜膨出(MMC)，三维(3D)超声显示胎儿背部表面皮肤和组织缺损的准确结果。新生儿学家和外科医生能够根据这些发现决定适当的治疗策略。结论三维超声有助于为新生儿医生和神经外科医生提供有关初始治疗的信息，并为未出生婴儿的父母说明疾病的物理外观。

期刊介绍： Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
