The authors sought to evaluate variability in practice patterns across a group of senior pediatric neurosurgeons. The purpose of this study was to identify the extent of variability and of consensus with regard to neurosurgical management of MMC and associated hydrocephalus, Chiari II malformation, and tethered spinal cord.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 43-question survey was distributed electronically to the members of the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgeons (ASPN). The survey covered domains such as clinic case volume, newborn management, hydrocephalus management, transition to adulthood, clinical indications for shunt revision, Chiari II malformation decompression (C2MD), and tethered cord release (TCR). Ninety responses were received from 200 active ASPN members, for an overall response rate of 45%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority (58%) of respondents closed 5\u201315 new cases of open MMC per year. Nearly all (98%) respondents perform back closure within 48 hours of birth, with the majority imbricating the placode and striving for a 3- to 4-layer closure. The most consistent indications for surgical intervention in early hydrocephalus were CSF leak from the back (92%), progressive ventricular enlargement (89%), and brainstem symptoms, including apnea\/bradycardia (81%), stridor (81%), and dysphagia (81%). Eighty percent of respondents indicated that spina bifida care is delivered through multidisciplinary clinics, with neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, urology, physical therapy, and social work as the most common disciplines included. One-third of clinics see both pediatric and adult patients, one-third offer a formal transition program to adult care, and one-third have no transition program. The vast majority of respondents offer prenatal counseling (95%), referral for in utero closure (66%), and endoscopic third ventriculostomy\/choroid plexus cauterization (72%). Respondents were more willing to perform shunt revision for symptoms alone than for image changes alone. An asymptomatic broken shunt without ventricular enlargement produced responses evenly divided between observation, intervention, and further investigation. Operative shunt exploration was always performed before C2MD by 56% of respondents and performed sometimes by 40% of respondents. Symptoms of brainstem dysfunction were the strongest clinical triggers reported for C2MD, while declines in urinary continence, leg strength or sensation, or ambulation were the most consistent thresholds for TCR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Significant disparities exist surrounding key areas of decision making regarding treatment for patients with MMC, though there are central areas of agreement among ASPN members. Additionally, there is significant variation in the clinical management of chronic hydrocephalus, C2MD, and TCR, underscoring the need for further research into these specific areas.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.5.peds18738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,19]],"date-time":"2019-10-19T07:42:41Z","timestamp":1571470961000},"page":"539-548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Care management and contemporary challenges in spina bifida: a practice preference survey of the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgeons"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth N.","family":"Alford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham;"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s of Alabama, Birmingham;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Betsy D.","family":"Hopson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham;"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s of Alabama, Birmingham;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederick","family":"Safyanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birmingham Southern College, Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anastasia","family":"Arynchyna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham;"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s of Alabama, Birmingham;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Bollo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City;"},{"name":"Primary Children\u2019s Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Todd C.","family":"Hankinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, and"},{"name":"Adult and Child Center for Outcomes Research and Delivery Science, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandon G.","family":"Rocque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham;"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s of Alabama, Birmingham;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey P.","family":"Blount","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham;"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children\u2019s of Alabama, Birmingham;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"N Engl J Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"993","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1014379","article-title":"A randomized trial of prenatal versus postnatal repair of myelomeningocele","volume":"364","author":"Adzick NS","year":"2011","unstructured":"Adzick NS, Thom EA, Spong CY, Brock JW III, Burrows PK, Johnson MP, : A randomized trial of prenatal versus postnatal repair of myelomeningocele.
