Spina Bifida
What is Spina Bifida?
Spina bifida, also known as myelomeningocele or neural tube defect, is a congenital condition that affects the spinal cord and surrounding structures during early fetal development. It occurs when the neural tube, which typically forms the baby’s brain and spinal cord, fails to close properly. As a result, a portion of the spinal cord or its protective covering (meninges) may protrude through an opening in the spine. This condition can vary in severity, leading to a range of physical and neurological disabilities.
