  • Title: Computed tomography in the evaluation and management of patients with spina bifida.
    Author: Hammock MK, Milhorat TH, Brallier DR.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1981 Dec; 34(4):334-9. PubMed ID: 7036575.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography (CT) has fundamentally altered our approach to the initial evaluation and follow-up of patients with spina bifida. This safe and simple, non-invasive diagnostic technique has doubtlessly encouraged earlier diagnosis of clinically significant problems associated with spina bifida and has greatly facilitated the day-to-day management of those patients with documented disorders. CT is now effectively employed as a screening measure for both intraspinal and intracranial problems and can be relied upon to objectively guide and monitor elected modes of therapy.
