Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a congenital malformation in which the spine and spinal cord do not fully close during the baby's development before birth. Its degree of involvement varies greatly from one person to another.
How it presents: from mild forms with no obvious symptoms to others with weakness or loss of sensation in the legs, changes in bladder and bowel control, and, in some cases, associated complications.
Context: it is usually detected during pregnancy or at birth, and its follow-up may require a joint approach from several areas of health care.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon takes part in its evaluation, and support from rehabilitation and complementary therapies can help with daily life. In the case of a diagnosis of spina bifida, having professional guidance helps in planning care.
