• IQ in Patients with Myelomeningocele – A Review
  Content Type: Dissertation Example Published: Thu, 06 Jun 2019
  Extract: The debate remains about the causes of the low IQ observed in many patients with MMC. Some have proposed that prenatal repair of the MMC lesion reduces the need for ventricular shunting after birth, and thereby decreases the risk of shunt complication and CNS infection, which normally have a negative prognosis on IQ if present.
