Abstract

Background: Bleeding Worldwide, approximately 300,000 infants are born annually with neural tube defects (NTDs), which carry a high risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objective: The aim of the study was to describe the experience with NTD patients born at a tertiary academic center.

Methods: A retrospective record review of all neonates with NTD admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit over six years.

Results: Out of the 39 patients identified, 32 (82.1%) were diagnosed antenatally. Most NTD cases were of the myelomeningocele 26 (66.7%) type. The most common site of the myelomeningocele was lumbar, and the thoracolumbar site had the worst prognosis.

Conclusion: Early detection of the disease allows better planning of delivery and treatment decisions. Nevertheless, understanding the magnitude of the problem necessitates adopting public health prevention strategies for better outcomes.

神经管缺陷从产前诊断到出院-一个高等学术中心的经验。

背景:出血世界范围内，每年大约有30万新生儿患有神经管缺陷(NTDs)，这具有很高的发病率和死亡率。目的:本研究的目的是描述在三级学术中心出生的NTD患者的经验。方法:回顾性记录回顾所有新生儿NTD入院新生儿重症监护室超过6年。结果:39例患者中，32例(82.1%)经产前诊断。NTD病例以脊髓脊膜膨出26型(66.7%)为主。脊膜膨出最常见的部位是腰椎，而胸腰椎部位预后最差。结论:早期发现疾病可以更好地计划分娩和治疗决策。然而，要了解问题的严重性，就必须采取公共卫生预防战略以取得更好的结果。
