Anatomical-Motor Level Discrepancy in Prenatal Diagnosis of Open Spinal Dysraphism: A 12-Year Retrospective Observational Study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to quantify the discrepancy between anatomical and motor levels in fetuses diagnosed with open spinal dysraphism and identify prenatal factors associated with this difference. Their study found that in 85% of cases, the motor level was more caudal than the anatomical level, with greater discrepancies linked to myeloschisis and higher anatomical levels associated with conditions like ventriculomegaly. This highlights the importance of understanding these discrepancies for better prenatal assessment and management.
