Our data showed white matter abnormality based on DTI in pediatric patient with fetal repair for MMC. The sensitivity of DTI in detecting white matter abnormality, as shown in the present study, may help to serve as an imaging biomarker for assessing hydrocephalus and improve and optimize decision making for the treatment of hydrocephalus in this patient population.
