Abstract

An analysis of the factors concerned in deciding to treat myelomeningocele on the first day of life is presented. The results of active treatment in all cases are presented, including the results obtained at the Transvaal Memorial Hospital for Children. These are compared with the results of withholding treatment in all cases. The merits of these forms of management and selection of cases for treatment are discussed.
