Although relatively rare, it carries the risk of leading to a series of dangerous complications if not intervened in time.<br \/>\nMany people often assume that musculoskeletal and spinal diseases only affect the elderly. However, in recent years, these issues have increasingly trended toward younger populations due to various causes. In fact, even newborns are at risk of being born with a congenital spinal defect known as spina bifida. So, what do you know about spina bifida and its treatments? Let\u2019s explore more in the following article.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"1_What_is_Spina_Bifida\"><b>1. What is Spina Bifida?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spina bifida (or &#8220;split spine&#8221;) is a congenital spinal defect that most commonly occurs in the lumbar spine. On an X-ray, the vertebrae appear to be split, leaving a gap in the middle. This happens because the neural tube and the vertebral bodies along the spinal cord do not close completely during development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"2_Types_of_Spina_Bifida\"><b>2. Types of Spina Bifida<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, spina bifida is classified into three main types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Spina Bifida Occulta:<\/strong> The most common and relatively benign form. It is often discovered incidentally through X-ray results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Meningocele:<\/strong> Frequently occurs in the lower lumbar region. Patients are at risk of bladder paralysis and bowel dysfunction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Myelomeningocele:<\/strong> The most severe form of spina bifida, which can cause partial loss of bodily functions. Additionally, spinal nerve function rarely improves significantly even after treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"3_Common_locations_for_Spina_Bifida\"><b>3. Common locations for Spina Bifida<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to research, the L5 lumbar vertebra and the S1 sacral bone are the most common sites for spina bifida. Typically, this condition is difficult to identify because, aside from localized aching in the affected area, there are no other specific symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12160\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12160\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/spina-bifida-causes-diagnosis-1.jpg\" alt=\"spina bifida causes diagnosis\" width=\"600\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/spina-bifida-causes-diagnosis-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/spina-bifida-causes-diagnosis-1-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The L5 and S1 vertebrae are the two most frequent locations for spina bifida.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Except for the difference in the specific location of the lesion, both Spina Bifida S1 and L5 share several characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Congenital factor:<\/strong> Specifically, L5 spina bifida can occur as early as the embryonic stage of fetal development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Most affected age group:<\/strong> Primarily individuals between 20 and 50 years old.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Nerve root compression:<\/strong> Often leads to associated conditions such as herniated discs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Loss of natural curvature:<\/strong> L5 spina bifida, in particular, can cause a partial loss of the spine\u2019s natural physiological curve.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><div><style> .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 { padding:0px; margin: 0; background-color:#eaeaea; display: table-row; margin-bottom: 10px; text-decoration:none; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .fp_col { display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .related_thumbnail{ display: block; width: 150px; margin-right: 15px; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .related_thumbnail img { display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46:active, .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; font-size: 13px; color:#34495E; text-decoration:none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .postTitle { color:#000000; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration:none; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .postTitle{ text-decoration:none; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .fp_col p.fp_short_dev{ margin-top: 0; line-height: 150%; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0; padding-right: 10px; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46:hover .postTitle { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .fp_col p.fp_short_dev{ display: none; } .u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46 .postTitle{ display: inline-block; line-height: 150%; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; } } <\/style><div class=\"u8da80658df3a694528bfd77bb38b3f46\"><div class=\"fp_col\"><a class=\"related_thumbnail\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/lumbar-bone-spurs\/\" ><img src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/lumbar-bone-spur-causes-symptoms-300x200.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fp_col\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"postTitle\" title=\"Lumbar Bone Spurs: Causes and Treatment Options\" href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/lumbar-bone-spurs\/\">Lumbar Bone Spurs: Causes and Treatment Options<\/a><p class=\"fp_short_dev\">Lumbar bone spurs are one of the primary manifestations of spinal degeneration.

Recognizing symptoms of Spina Bifida<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When suffering from spina bifida, patients may experience the following signs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Localized aching at the site of the bone spurs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Radiating pain that spreads across the lower back, pelvis, and lower limbs (including the shins, calves, and feet).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Numbness, tingling, and weakness in the limbs, with reduced mobility caused by bone spurs compressing the nerve roots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neurological abnormalities, sensory disturbances, or sphincter dysfunction leading to loss of bladder or bowel control.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"5_Causes_of_Spina_Bifida\"><strong>5. Causes of Spina Bifida<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In reality, the exact cause of spina bifida remains a major question for many scientists. While research is ongoing, they have identified several contributing factors, typically including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Congenital factors:<\/strong> If an expectant mother lacks proper nutrition\u2014specifically failing to absorb the necessary amount of Folic Acid\u2014it significantly increases the risk of the baby developing spina bifida in the womb.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Lifestyle habits:<\/strong> Sitting for prolonged periods or maintaining poor posture while sitting, lying down, walking, standing, or lifting heavy objects are common factors leading to various spinal issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Spinal injuries:<\/strong> The body\u2019s natural healing mechanism begins a bone regeneration process when the spine is injured, which can form bone spurs. However, this usually occurs when the healing process happens repeatedly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Aging:<\/strong> Joint cartilage gradually degenerates over time, leading to calcium deficiency. Consequently, the body automatically accumulates this mineral to compensate for the loss, which inadvertently forms bone spurs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Localized inflammation:<\/strong> Whether it occurs in the bones, spinal joints, or the surrounding tendons and ligaments, inflammation can stimulate bone cell regeneration. Occasionally, this process results in &#8220;faulty products&#8221;\u2014known as bone spurs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12159\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12159\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12159\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/types-of-spina-bifida-symptoms-1.jpg\" alt=\"types of spina bifida symptoms\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/types-of-spina-bifida-symptoms-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/types-of-spina-bifida-symptoms-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lifting heavy objects with improper posture can increase the risk of spinal complications.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"6_Is_Spina_Bifida_dangerous\"><b>6. Is Spina Bifida dangerous?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Experts suggest that spina bifida is not a simple condition. Without timely intervention, it can lead to a series of serious health complications, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Damage to spinal nerve roots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Muscle function impairment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bladder and bowel dysfunction\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paralysis\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abnormal weakness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meningitis\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Death\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"7_Diagnosing_Spina_Bifida\"><b>7. Diagnosing Spina Bifida<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To diagnose spina bifida, especially in a fetus, doctors will perform the following tests:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Blood Test:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> To evaluate the level of AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein) produced by the fetus. High AFP levels may indicate that the baby has spina bifida or another congenital defect.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Ultrasound:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A diagnostic method that creates images of the fetus on a computer screen. If a baby has spina bifida, doctors may notice an open spine or a sac protruding from the lumbar area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Amniocentesis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Doctors collect a small amount of fluid from the amniotic sac to test for any symptoms or conditions the baby may be experiencing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In some cases, spina bifida is only diagnosed after the child is born. At this stage, doctors may order imaging tests such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI to gain a clearer view of the baby&#8217;s spine and back bones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"8_Is_Spina_Bifida_curable\"><b>8. Is Spina Bifida curable?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In most cases, the most common choice for treating spina bifida is medication. A typical prescription may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Pain relievers and anti-inflammatories:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mostly from the <\/span><b>NSAID<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> group, such as naproxen, ibuprofen, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Muscle relaxants:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mydocalm, myonal, decontractyl, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Vitamin B group:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Such as B1, B12, etc., to accelerate the recovery process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12158\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12158\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/non-surgical-spina-bifida-treatments-1.jpg\" alt=\"non surgical spina bifida treatments\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/non-surgical-spina-bifida-treatments-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/non-surgical-spina-bifida-treatments-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patients should only use medication under the consultation and supervision of a specialist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, in severe cases (where bone spurs compress nerves or the spinal canal, or cause <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/scoliosis\/\"><b>scoliosis<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">), surgery may be indicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is important to note that these treatments carry significant risks. Specifically, prolonged use or overdose of medication can easily damage vital organs such as the stomach, liver, or kidneys. Additionally, the risk of complications during and after surgery to remove spinal bone spurs is substantial.
