Imaging study examines microstructural changes in the fetal brain after myelomeningocele repair, suggesting potential assessment markers.
Persistent HBH after prenatal MMC repair is associated with increased ADC in the brainstem and cerebellum, suggesting ongoing microstructural alteration likely related to chronic compression. DWI may provide a candidate imaging marker associated with the degree of hindbrain herniation reversal after fetal surgery and may help refine postoperative imaging assessment.
