Fetal Surgery for Congenital Neurological Abnormalities

Abstract

Since the last century, multiple imaging and surgical techniques have been developed to detect and early treat the congenital abnormalities of the central nervous system. Even though the multiple technologies and approaches were improved, there was a risk of complications or fatal outcomes. It is possible to perform the neurological surgery before the labor or cesarian section (fetal surgery) with the correct diagnosis. Nowadays, there is not that much information regarding this type of management. The present review aims to provide the currently available information retrieved from the available literature about fetal neurosurgery and its outcomes
