Spina Bifida Occulta

Spina bifida occulta (SBO) occurs during a baby’s development in its mother’s womb, usually in the first month of pregnancy.
In people with this condition, the bones of the spine, called vertebrae, don’t properly close.
That leaves small gaps that can expose the sensitive spinal column to injury. Spina bifida occurs in about 1 out of every 1,000 births.

Meningoceles

A meningocele is a birth defect where there is a sac protruding from the spinal column. The sac includes spinal fluid, but does not contain neural tissue. It may be covered with skin or with meninges. The sac often is visible from the outside of the back. Meningoceles are considered to be neural tube defects and are a form of spina bifida.

Meningomyelocele

Meningomyelocele (MMC)is a congenital (birth) defect where the baby's spine does not form correctly resulting in a gap. The spinal gap exposes part of the spinal cord and its protective membranes. The damage to the spinal cord often resulting in paralysis of the lower limbs and developmental difficultiesand various other symptoms.
