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 behavior and education. The book thus presents an up-to-date view on the current diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of these two conditions.
