Abstract

During the period between January 1975 and December, 1979, one hundred and thirty two (132) new patients were seen in the neurosurgical clinic with some form of malformation of the cranium or spine. One hundred and eight (108) of them were spina bifida cystica and seventy one (71) of these had myelomeningocele of whom only thirty-seven (37) were selected for active treatment. Multidisciplinary approach for management of this condition was lacking, and the follow up was inadequate.
