NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS TYPES Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus SPINA BIFIDA The brain and the spinal tube develop very early in pregnancy from the neural tube. Spina Bifida comes from development of the neural tube. Spina Bifida is a fault in the spinal cord that causes an opening in the backbone. Almost all children with spina bifida will develop extra spinal fluid in the brain. This process is labeled as hydrocephalus. HYDROCEPHALUS Hydrocephalus occurs when a watery fluid, or cerebro-spinal fluid, is not absorbed into the bloodstream but produced inside the ventricles of the brain. If the fluid accumulates within the brain and the ventricles begin to swell, the head will eventually enlarge, resulting in compression of surrounding tissue. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Spina Bifida Failure of neural tube to develop properly. This can be either genetic, environmental, or both. Hydrocephalus Inability of cerebro-spinal fluid to drain into the bloodstream TREATMENTS Recent research has shown that with a regular intake of vitamins and a healthy diet, the risk of developing neural tube defects has decreased. Women who are pregnant are encouraged to eat vegetables and other foods that contain folic acid. This folic acid, or vitamin B9, reduces the risk of recurrence in a second pregnancy. If you feel you are not getting enough of this vitamin in your diet, a daily folic acid supplement may also be taken. Always check with your physician first.

SPINA BIFIDA Definition Epidemiology Pathophysiology Etiology ... Reference Page Definition: Spina bifida (SB) a type of myelodysplasia is the most common neural tube defect. SB caused by the failure of the fetus's spine to close properly during the first month of fetal development. The Spina Bifida Association of America reports that spina bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect.48 Spina bifida may be categorized into 2 type (some texts include spina bifida cystica in which a CSF filled sac protrudes f rom the spinal column. Spina bifida aperta includes 2 main types: myelomeningocele and meningocele. Myelomeningocele is the severest form in which the spinal cord and the meninges protrude from an opening in the spine. Meningocele is a less severe form in which the only the meninges and nonfunctional nerves protrude in a sac wall. Spina bifida occulta, the mildest form, is typically only a vertebral defect in which the vertebral arches do not fuse. Epidemiology: Spina bifida affects 0.5 to 1 out of 1,000 infants born in the United States. The group with the lowest incidence is African blacks with 1 in 10,000. There is a sibling

Spina Bifida is a developmental anomaly characterized by defective closure of the bony encasement of the spinal cord through which the spinal cord and meninges may or may not protrude. If the anomaly is not visible, the condition is called spina bifida occulta. If there is an external protrusion of the saclike structure, the condition is called spina bifida cystica, and is further classified according to extent of neural involvement (e.g., meningocele, meningomyelocele, or myelomeningocele). top ^ Description of Spina Bifida Spina bifida is the most frequently occurring permanently disabling birth defect. It affects approximately one out of every 1,000 newborns in the U.S. More children are affected by this condition than muscular dystrophy , multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined.
