title: [Our experience in the prenatal echographic diagnosis of spinal dysraphism in the fetus].
abstract: The investigation consists of 141 cases of prenatal diagnosing structural and chromosomal anomalies of the fetus. Seventeen of the cases, quoted above, concern spinal dysraphism (spina bifida, occipital meningocele, meningoencephalocele). It has been made an analysis of ultrasound signs at this group of defects which turned out the most useful for the definite diagnosis. According to the literary survey and author's experience are formed two main groups of indices at echo-sounding study--direct and indirect. There have been considered the technics of echoscopy in searching the signs of different terms of pregnancy. It has been made a partial comparison of the reliability in the two groups ultrasound signs with this in biochemical diagnosis of spinal dysraphism in the fetus.
