Question
How should one handle the high-risk situation of neural tube defects at 220 days of pregnancy?
Answer
Concealed spinal bifida without symptoms does not require treatment. Surgical treatment for spinal bifida typically includes the removal of the mass, neural decompression, vertebral canal decompression, and repair of neural tissue retraction. Neural injuries include post-traumatic brain injury, cerebral vascular sclerosis, encephalitis, and sequelae of meningitis. Prenatal diagnostic methods include blood tests, ultrasound diagnosis, amniocentesis, and four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound. Treatment should be conducted at a regular Class A or Class B hospital after confirmation of the diagnosis.
