Abstract

Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most severe form of spina bifida with intrauterine repairs becoming more prevalent. The development of three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has drastically improved the visualization of fetal anatomy. Virtual Navigation (VN) results from a technology that uses software generated realistic images to replicate the immersive feeling of a real environment. This report aims to demonstrate VN in a Chiari II malformation case, obtained from 3DUS and MRI files, comparing this with the fetal endoscopic surgery for MMC.
