Reflections upon the intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele Childs Nerv. Syst. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-22 Giuseppe Talamonti
The intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele presents certain advantages and has gained widespread acceptance. It significantly reduces the incidence of Chiari-2 anomalies and hydrocephalus, and it is thought to enhance the neurologic outcome. Nevertheless, several issues remain unsettled and there are no negligible disadvantages. After working with patients with myelomeningocele for 30 years, I thought

Predictors of neurocognition outcomes in children and young people with primary brain tumor presenting to tertiary care hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan: a prospective cohort study Childs Nerv. Syst. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-16
Abstract Introduction Primary brain tumors are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children and young people (CYP) globally. Impaired neurocognitive function is a potential severe consequence in primary brain tumor (PBT) survivors. There are no in-depth studies from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to inform management and follow-up. The research questions of this study were as follows:
