Summary

Neural tube defects (NTD), which is the most common anomaly of the central nervous system, which can be diagnosed during antenatal period, brings many problems both in the neonatal period and in advanced ages. Open neural tube defects, in particular, progress with sensory-motor deficits due to the risk of infection and neural tissue loss from birth, and should be followed closely from the neonatal period. Newborns born with a neural tube defect should be operated within the first 72 hours postnatal and the defect should be closed.

In this hospital, newborns with NTD are monitored in our neonatal surgery intensive care unit before and after surgery. Neonatal specialists, neurosurgeons and other specialists when there is an additional anomaly evaluate the baby as multidisciplinary.

In this project, the short-term follow-up data of babies with NTD who have been followed up in this neonatal surgery intensive care unit for the last fifteen years will be evaluated retrospectively.
