Fetus diagnosed with a meningomyelocele. is this always fatal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: Fetal myelomeningocele is always morbid but rarely lethal. That is to say that long-term neurodevelopmental problems and neonatal neurosurgery are unavoidable, but that most affected individuals are expected to survive the perinatal/neonatal period.
