Treatment and prognosis The prognosis is variable depending on the presence of associated anomalies and presence of microcephaly (carries a much poorer prognosis). [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis is better, especially when they are 5 cm in diameter, do not contain dysplastic or brain tissue, and when they are not associated with hydrocephalus or other anomalies. 8 Our patient, who had presented in adulthood, thus had a better prognosis [appliedradiology.com]

The prognosis is dependent upon the presence and amount of herniated brain, the presence of hydrocephalus, the presence of microcephaly and associated abnormalities. In the presence of brain herniation the mortality is 44%. [fetalsono.com]

Prognosis Prognosis is favorable for life with surgical treatment. However, according to foreign statistics, mortality from secondary complications can reach 10 % even with perfect surgical treatment. [iliveok.com]
