Analysis of Denver Neurodevelopmental Screening Test Results of Myelomeningocele, Hydrocephalus, and Microcephaly Patients.

Context: Spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and similar congenital central nervous system (CNS) anomalies take origin from embryologic stages weeks before birth, but assessment and follow-up of these patients are important to figure and predict the effects of these anomalies on child's neurodevelopment.

Aims: To evaluate of multiple groups of congenital CNS anomalies in the neurodevelopment level.

Settings And Design: The study was conducted at a research and treatment center for spina bifida patients.

Features of multiple pregnancies obtained by in vitro fertilization or spontaneously.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis of infants born to multiple pregnancies obtained by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or spontaneously.

Methods: The records of multiple pregnancies in Bakirkoy Maternity and Children's Hospital between February 2008 and January 2009 were investigated. Maternal, perinatal and postnatal data of multiple pregnancies were evaluated.

Arachnoid cysts in childhood with endocrinological outcomes.

Arachnoid cysts are mainly manifested with the consequent neurological disorders. Even though these cysts may interfere in many systems due to their localizations, there is little information concerning their involvement in endocrinological disorders. We emphasize endocrinological functions together with cyst localizations and neurological disorders in childhood.
