Overview
- Three-dimensional ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for characterisation of the open spina bifida spinal lesions.[1]
- On Three-dimensional ultrasound, spina bifida is characterized by:[2]
- Vertebral defect
- Splayed vertebral pedicles
- Disrupted vertebrae
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for characterisation of the open spina bifida spinal lesions.[1]
- On two and tree-dimensional ultrasound, spina bifida is characterized by:[2]
- Vertebral defect
- Splayed vertebral pedicles
- Disrupted vertebrae
Sequence of Diagnostic Studies
The ultrasound must be performed when a positive alpha-fetoprotein is detected in the triple screening test during 15 to a
20 weeks of pregnancy to confirm the diagnosis.
Name of Diagnostic Criteria

[Disease name] is primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation. There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of [disease name].
OR
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for [disease name], though [disease name] may be diagnosed based on [name of criteria] established by [...].
OR
The diagnosis of [disease name] is made when at least [number] of the following [number] diagnostic criteria are met: [criterion 1], [criterion 2], [criterion 3], and [criterion 4].
OR
The diagnosis of [disease name] is based on the [criteria name] criteria, which includes [criterion 1], [criterion 2], and [criterion 3].
OR
[Disease name] may be diagnosed at any time if one or more of the following criteria are met:
- Criteria 1
- Criteria 2
