Cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus

BACKGROUND: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with substantial early-life morbidity and mortality. Although hydrocephalus frequently accompanies MMC, its specific relationship to early mortality remains incompletely defined in institutional cohorts. This study aimed to describe early mortality patterns in patients…
