What is spinal bifida?!


Question: What is spinal bifida!?
Answers:
Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental birth defect involving the neural tube: incomplete closure of the embryonic neural tube results in an incompletely formed spinal cord!. In addition, the vertebrae overlying the open portion of the spinal cord do not fully form and remain unfused and open!. This allows the abnormal portion of the spinal cord to stick out through the opening in the bones!. There may or may not be a fluid filled sac surrounding the open spinal cord!. Other neural tube defects include anencephaly, a condition in which the portion of the neural tube which will become the cerebrum does not close, and encephalocele, which results when other parts of the brain remain unfused!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
