What is Spina Bifida?

Spina bifida is a condition that affects the spine and happens when the spinal cord does not develop properly during early pregnancy. Because the spinal column doesn’t close all the way, it leaves the spinal cord unprotected. This can cause damage to the spinal cord and nerves.
