Description:
Background: Correlations among Chiari type II malformation (CMII) morphological findings, the proportion of fetal heart rate patterns corresponding to the quiet phase (QP), and neurological outcomes have yet to be investigated.FindingsThe correlations among the morphological findings (i.e., the degree of ventriculomegaly, myelomeningocele levels, and degree of cerebellar herniation), proportion of time spent in QP, and developmental quotients (DQs) were analyzed in 22 children. The proportion of time spent in QP was compared between children with poor neurological outcomes (n = 9) and those with good outcomes (n = 13). Pearson’s correlations and the Mann–Whitney U-test were used to assess for statistical significance; P
