Spina Bifida is a relatively common condition, which affects about one in every 1000 children born per year in Ireland. Ireland has one of the highest incidences of Spina Bifida births in the world. Spina Bifida is the most common neural tube defect (NTD) which causes incomplete development of the spinal cord. Translated, it literally means 'split spine'.
The effects of Spina Bifida vary enormously, depending on the type, the location of the cyst and the severity of the condition. These include Hydrocephalus, varying degrees of paralysis, pressure sores, loss of sensation of the lower limbs, malformations, latex allergies, social and sexual issues and bowel and bladder incontinence.
