Spinal Bifida Disability Tax Credit
What is Spinal Bifida Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don’t form properly. It falls under the broader category of neural tube defects. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the baby’s brain and spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them. Normally, the neural tube forms early in pregnancy, and it closes by the 28th day after conception.
Symptoms of Spinal Bifida Infants who have spinal bifida may have or develop weakness or paralysis in the legs, urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, a lack of sensation in the skin and a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid. Myelomeningocele is the most severe type of spinal bifida and is can have cognitive symptoms with a lack of awareness, thinking, learning, judging, and knowing.
Available Treatments for Spinal Bifida One option for treatment for spinal bifida is surgery. There is surgery to repair the spine which can be done within 2 days of the birth and the surgeon replaces the spinal cord and any exposed tissues or nerves back into the newborns body. Prenatal surgery opens the uterus and repairs the spinal cord of the fetus, usually during the 19 to 25th week of pregnancy.
