| Popis: | OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of the interpeduncular angle (IPA) as a new indicator of intracranial hypotension in fetuses with open spinal dysraphism (SD). METHODS Two groups of fetuses undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination were identified. The study group included fetuses with open SD (n = 21), while the control group included fetuses with a normal brain and spine (n = 43). Two observers retrospectively evaluated axial T2-weighted images of the brain and the IPA was identified and measured. Other features of the Chiari II malformation were also evaluated in the study group and correlated with the IPA. RESULTS The average value (±SD) of the IPA for the study and control groups was 9.8° ± 18.5° and 60.2° ± 5.9°, respectively. The intergroup analysis of the IPA measurements revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (p |
