Can fetal meningocele heal on its own

  If the baby is still in the mother's womb, B-ultrasound and color ultrasound can be used to check for any problems. After a certain period of time, a series of tests such as Down syndrome screening can be performed to further determine whether the baby is developing normally. Sometimes during the examination, the fetus may have some uncommon problems. After these problems occur, there is still hope for self-healing. So, can fetal meningocele heal on its own?

  

Can fetal meningocele heal on its own1

  If there are symptoms of fetal meningeal protrusion during the examination, the best method is to perform timely repair after the baby is born, mostly through surgical methods, which have ideal results.

  There are several different degrees of symptoms for fetal meningocele. If it is only a local symptom, it is relatively easy to treat during the treatment process. Generally, it occurs more frequently in a certain area. If it is a symptom of the nervous system, causing meningeal protrusion, if the patient is mild, there will not be obvious neurological symptoms, but if it is severe, it can cause certain damage to the nervous system and may also lead to intellectual disability.

  Regardless of the cause of fetal meningeal protrusion, if the fetus does not self heal in a timely manner after examination, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible after birth.
