First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Spina bifida aperta (SBA) is associated with cerebral morbidity, such as hydrocephalus, Chiari II malformation and cortical dysplasia. Insight in the pathogenesis of these malformations is incomplete. In fetal SBA, such information may help to improve pre- and early postnatal treatment strategies. In perinatal SBA, we investigated the time of initiation of concurrent cerebral malformations.
