Journal ArticleDOI

N. Scott Adzick,Elizabeth Thom,Catherine Y. Spong,John W. Brock,Pamela K. Burrows,Mark P. Johnson,Lori J. Howell,Jody A. Farrell,Mary E. Dabrowiak,Leslie N. Sutton,Nalin Gupta,Noel Tulipan,Diana L. Farmer +12 more
TL;DR: Prenatal surgery for myelomeningocele reduced the need for shunting and improved motor outcomes at 30 months but was associated with maternal and fetal risks and increased risk of preterm delivery and uterine dehiscence at delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal lung lesions: Management and outcome
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a retrospective review of 175 fetal lung lesions diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography at two fetal treatment centers and found that most of them can be managed with maternal transport, planned term delivery, and postnatal resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cystic adenomatoid malformation volume ratio predicts outcome in prenatally diagnosed cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung
Timothy M. Crombleholme,Beverly G. Coleman,Holly L. Hedrick,Kenneth W. Liechty,Lori J. Howell,Alan W. Flake,Mark P. Johnson,N. Scott Adzick +7 more
TL;DR: The authors report the results of prospective use of the CVR both to track tumor growth and regression during gestation and confirm its predictive value in fetuses with CAM, suggesting its usefulness as a predictor of outcome in CAM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in utero: VI. hard-earned lessons
Michael R. Harrison,N. Scott Adzick,Alan W. Flake,Russell W. Jennings,James M. Estes,Thomas E. MacGillivray,Jane T. Chueh,James D. Goldberg,Roy A. Filly,Ruth B. Goldstein,Mark A. Rosen,Charles Cauldwell,Anne H Levine,Lori J. Howell +13 more
TL;DR: It is reported that repair of CDH in utero is physiologically sound and safe for the mother, but technically difficult especially when the liver is herniated into the fetal chest.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of the outcome for fetuses with diaphragmatic hernia.
TL;DR: The mortality for potentially correctable CDH diagnosed before 24 weeks' gestation is 58%, despite optimal care presently available after birth, despite optimal postnatal care.
