Fetal Diagn Ther

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how effectively neurosurgical prenatal counseling (nPNC) is provided to families considering myelomeningocele (MMC) repair, focusing on the timing and factors influencing decisions on prenatal versus postnatal treatment.
- Results show that 97% of families accessed nPNC, with 82% of consultations occurring before 24 weeks gestational age, and a significant number faced exclusions from fetal repair.
- Most families ultimately chose between fetal repair, postnatal repair, or termination, with the main reasons for declining fetal repair being perceived risks and costs.
