Medical Conditions - Spina Bifida

Spina bifida is a very common nervous system disorder one may be born with. One may have a part of the spinal cord and the nerves exposed through the back of the body. It occurs when the spinal cord and the spinal bones that enclose it are not formed in the right way when one is inside the mother’s womb. With the spinal cord hanging out in the open, one may have problems due to nerve damage such as lower body paralysis, bowel and bladder incontinence, and malformed bones.
