Summary

This is an IRB approved project involving a retrospective chart analysis of clinical outcome and the postoperative MRI flow studies to determine any significant associations or trends. There is currently very little information available to predict surgical outcome hence the need for such a study.

The patients are listed in a database making case identification easy and a minimum data sheet has been prepared to enable immediate data collection. It will cover both adults and children.

Dr Dale Vaslow has agreed to provide supervision for the radiological evaluation.
