Spina bifida is a congenital condition where the spinal column fails to close completely during fetal development, leading to a defect in the spinal cord and surrounding structures. This defect can result in varying degrees of disability, depending on the severity and location of the malformation. In spina bifida, the protective bony encasement of the spinal cord is incomplete, exposing it and sometimes leading to nerve damage. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including physical and neurological impairments, such as difficulty walking, bowel and bladder issues, and in severe cases, paralysis. The exact cause of spina bifida is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. A deficiency in folic acid during pregnancy is one of the most significant risk factors, as it plays a crucial role in neural tube development. Other potential contributors include maternal obesity, diabetes, or certain medications taken during pregnancy.
Treatment for spina bifida varies based on the severity of the condition. For mild cases, management may involve monitoring and supportive care, including physical therapy to address mobility and function. In more severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to repair the defect and prevent further damage. This may involve procedures performed shortly after birth or during pregnancy. Ongoing care typically includes a multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgeons, orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to address associated complications and support overall development and quality of life.
