Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs during early pregnancy when the spinal column fails to close properly. This can lead to varying degrees of spinal cord and nerve damage. The condition can cause physical and developmental challenges, including paralysis, bladder and bowel issues, and cognitive impairments. Treatment may involve surgery, physical therapy, and medical management of associated conditions. With appropriate care, individuals with Spina Bifida can lead fulfilling lives, although the extent of disability varies widely depending on the severity of the condition.
