Spina Bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord do not form properly. This condition happens during early pregnancy when the neural tube, which develops into the spine, fails to close completely. As a result, the spinal cord may be exposed, leading to various physical and neurological challenges. There are different types of Spina Bifida, including Spina Bifida Occulta, which is mild and often asymptomatic, and Myelomeningocele, the most severe form. Treatment options may include surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing medical care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
