Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 1,259 children diagnosed with WT between 2009 and 2019, finding that 7.5% had pleural effusions, which were associated with older age and more advanced cancer stages.
- Despite the presence of pleural effusions, survival rates were still high (86.2% event-free, 91.5% overall), and the occurrence of malignant cells in the fluid was low, suggesting no need to change treatment approaches based on pleural effusion
Objective: Myelocystocele (MCC) is an uncommon form of skin-covered spinal dysraphism. The authors aimed to present long-term functional outcomes of patients treated for MCC with and without associated abnormalities of cloacal development (ACD).
Methods: All patients with MCC and at least one tethered cord release (TCR) treated at a single institution between 1982 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
