Open spinal dysraphism occurs as a consequence of failed neurulation during embryological development and includes two subtypes, myelomeningocele and myelocele. Intrauterine fetal repair can result in reversal of the associated Chiari II malformation and is now considered a treatment option.
The main imaging method for prenatal detection, management, and monitoring of open neural tube defects is US, but MRI is essential for the preoperative assessment, indications and workup for fetal surgery, and postnatal follow-up. This prospective study describes the contribution of MRI in this clinical scenario. Read More

Neuropathic arthropathy (Charcot arthropathy) can be a late manifestation of multiple disease processes that impair sensation and proprioception. The findings are commonly present in adults with diabetes and entities such as tertiary syphilis and syringomyelia. We present the rare manifestation of Charcot arthropathy of the hip in two pediatric patients with a history of spina bifida, myelomeningocele, and Chiari malformation. Through a case series, this presentation will review the image findings, treatment, and pathophysiology of neuropathic arthropathy in the pediatric population. Read More
