| Abstract | ||||
| Background: The advance in the prenatal diagnostics, particularly in imaging tools during the pregnancy (ultrasound and magnetic resonance) allowed the early diagnose of many fetal diseases, including the neurological conditions. This progress brought the neurosurgeons the possibility to propose treatments even before birth. Objective: The aim is to study the role and effect of prenatal diagnostics for neurosurgical pathologies as regard to early detection and management. Conclusion: Further progress is necessary to enable fetal neurosurgery in becoming the main technique used in treating fetal neurosurgical diseases. However, we believe that correct prenatal diagnosis and adequate selection of fetuses with myelomeningocele, hydrocephalus, and occipital encephalocele may contribute to the benefits provided by neurosurgical procedures during the fetal period. | ||||
