Familiar component.

Prevention

Vitaminic Suplementación during the pregnancy.

Signs and symptoms

The hidden bifid thorn, that affects a 30% of the western population, is asintomática.

One of each thousand children suffers meningocele (4% of them) or mielomeningocele (96% rest). The effects of this one alteration are:

Muscular weakness.

Paralysis of the zones below the crack.

Urinary and/or fecal Incontinencia.

Hidrocefalia by accumulation abnormal of liquid spinal (the liquid that bathes the brain and the marrow), which compresses these structures.

Causes

They must to a defect in the closing of the neural tube, during the embryonic development.
