Spina bifida is a condition
affecting the central nervous
system (brain and spine)
What is spina bifida?
4 weeks after conception
– the neural tube
forms. This will eventually
develop into the brain and spine
Spina bifida: a neural tube defect where the tube doesn’t fully
close and leaves a gap which becomes a split in the spine later
What is spina bifida?
A sac or cyst forms on the spine – this can
contain the spinal cord, fluid, and nerves
We estimate that there are between 11 and 14.5 thousand people
living with spina bifida in England and Wales
What might spina bifida affect?
Bladder & bowel function
Mobility
Sensation
Everyone is unique but these are some of the things that
are often different in people with spina bifida…
Balance
Thinking &
learning
What does spina bifida affect?
Depending where the gap in the spine is
and how big it is, different parts of the body
might not work quite the same or as well –
everyone is different!
All these people have spina bifida!
How is spina bifida treated?
• Surgical repair usually performed within the first 48 hours after delivery to
preserve neural tissue and to prevent infection.
• Repair can also be performed prenatally (in the womb before birth)
• Shunt can also be placed if hydrocephalus is present

Folic for Life
• ~1:750 UK pregnancies are affected by an NTD
• ~70% of NTDs like spina bifida are preventable through
taking folic acid in the 8 weeks before pregnancy until the
12th week of pregnancy
• 90% of UK women do not have
high enough levels of folate
to protect against
NTDs and ~45% of
pregnancies are not planned.
