What is Spina Bifida: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment about?

Spina bifida is a treatable spinal cord malformation classified as a neural tube defect, with an average incidence of 1 case per 1000 births and higher risks associated with low socioeconomic status. Its etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic, racial, and environmental factors, with key influences from nutrition, particularly folic acid intake. Diagnosis involves anamnesis and physical examination, while treatment includes bladder and bowel management, therapy, and surgical interventions.
