Treatments for Hydrocephalus If hydrocephalus is not creating symptoms, or if it is due to temporary obstruction, treatment may consist of monitoring the condition instead of intervening. In most cases, though, hydrocephalus is treated with surgery. [princetonbrainandspine.com]

Treatment and prognosis The overall prognosis is variable depending on the type and extent. For an isolated spina bifida, the recurrence risk range for future pregnancies is thought to be around 0.3-5% 12-13. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis otherwise depends on severity of the malformation, associated neurological abnormalities and complications. There has been some improvement in prognosis with improved diagnostic and surgical techniques. [patient.info]

Prognosis varies by the level of cord involvement and the number and severity of associated anomalies. [merckmanuals.com]

One needs to be cautious about providing too optimistic a prognosis with respect to neurologic dysfunction based on a neonatal examination and to recognize that the appearance of neurologic deficits may not indicate deterioration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology is often multifactorial with both genetic and environmental factors considered to play a role. Intake of adequate amounts of folic acid plays a protective role. Classification There are many ways of classifying a spina bifida. [radiopaedia.org]

If the myelomeningocele is leaking CSF, antibiotics are started to prevent meningitis. [merckmanuals.com]

Prevention of isolated spina bifida and other spinal abnormalities has become possible during recent decades. The major prevention is through the use of a B vitamin, folic acid, for several months prior to and following conception. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
