Abstract:
During 3 years over 400 cases with neurological diseases in infants were operated on at the Dep. of Neurosurgery of Hanoi Saint-Paul hospital. Among them, there were only 16 cases with meningocele and meningo-encephalocele (congenital malformations). These patients were from 2 days to 16 months of age.
