Abstract
In this study we have discussed the multiple modalities in the management of
mylomeningocele and the associated hydrocephalus in infants regarding the peri-natal
diagnosis and care for cases of spina bifida, the timing of surgical intervention whether
for repair of the myelomeningocele or for shunt placement, the actual need for CSF
diversion and the multiple techniques for closure of the defect. We reviewed the literature
and the recent publications which tried to reach the ideal way of management and the
recommendations for our further practice. We recommend surgical repair of
myelomeningocele as early as possible followed 5-7 days later by V-P shunt placement
if it is actually indicated.
