  • Title: Late back closure in myelomeningoceles--better results for the more severely affected?
    Author: Okorie NM, MacKinnon AE, Lonton AP, Dickson JA.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1987 Dec; 42 Suppl 1():41-2. PubMed ID: 3433973.
    Abstract:
    The results of operated cases of myelomeningocele and meningocele during 1980-1985 are presented. The results of treating open lesions with severe paralysis by late closure do not appear to give rise to a lower intelligence. It is suggested that elective delayed surgery is in the child's best interest.
