Current Concepts in Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus

This book discusses all aspects of the effects of spina bifida and hydrocephalus on the fetus, the child, and the adolescent. Chapters review current neurosurgical techniques, perinatal death and malformation, together with the effects of spina bifida and hydrocephalus on behaviour and education. The book thus presents an up-to-date view on the current diagnosis, investigation and treatment of these two conditions.
