Fetal Surgery for Congenital Neurological Abnormalities

Abstract

Since the last century, multiple imaging and surgical techniques have been developed to detect and treat congenital abnormalities of the central nervous system. Even though multiple technologies and approaches have been developed, there is still a risk of complications or fatal outcomes. It is possible to perform neurological surgery on a patient before their birth (fetal surgery) with the correct diagnosis. Our literature review aims to gather the most current information available about fetal neurosurgery and its outcomes.
