Spinal Dysraphic Malformations

This book includes detailed discussions of the latest science in the embryogenesis of spinal dysraphic malformations, and  a well-illustrated guide to their surgical repair. In addition to covering the actual malformations, and because, with the probable exception of prenatal closure of the open neural tube defect, all surgical repairs of other dysraphic malformations require sophisticated intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), an in-depth chapter is devoted to the physics, ph
