Extractions: An average of 1 in 1000 in USA are born with Spina Bifida. WHAT IS HYDROCEPHALUS? Hydrocephalus is an increased collection of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain due to blockage. The collection causes the ventricles in the brain to enlarge, which applies pressure to the brain tissue. If left untreated, the pressure on the brain tissue causes the skull to enlarge. HOW IS HYDROCEPHALUS TREATED? Hyrocephalus is usually corrected with a shunt to redirect the fluid. In Rylie's case the ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt drains the fluid to the abdomen where it is reabsorbed.

Extractions: A chance for a better life Each year in this country, 4,000 children, or an average of 11 children a day, are born with neural tube defects (NTDs) that occur when the spinal column fails to develop and close properly during the first month of pregnancy. The neural tube in a developing fetus later becomes the spinal cord, the backbone that protects the spinal cord, and all the nerves in the body, and any defect in the neural tube can lead to serious health consequences. Spina bifida accounts for half of all neural tube defects, and occurs when part of the spinal cord protrudes through the backbone and fails to develop normally. Thanks to improved medical and surgical care, most children born with spina bifida survive, although they may experience varying degrees of paralysis, loss of sensation in the lower limbs, difficulties with bowel and bladder management, hydrocephalus, learning disabilities, and latex allergies. Anencephaly, which accounts for the remaining 50 percent of neural tube defects, results from the failure of the neural tube to close properly at the upper end, causing a fatal condition in which most of the brain is absent. Infants born with anencephaly usually die at birth or within the first days after birth.

Extractions: NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS TYPES Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus SPINA BIFIDA The brain and the spinal tube develop very early in pregnancy from the neural tube. Spina Bifida comes from development of the neural tube. Spina Bifida is a fault in the spinal cord that causes an opening in the backbone. Almost all children with spina bifida will develop extra spinal fluid in the brain. This process is labeled as hydrocephalus. HYDROCEPHALUS Hydrocephalus occurs when a watery fluid, or cerebro-spinal fluid, is not absorbed into the bloodstream but produced inside the ventricles of the brain. If the fluid accumulates within the brain and the ventricles begin to swell, the head will eventually enlarge, resulting in compression of surrounding tissue. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Spina Bifida Failure of neural tube to develop properly. This can be either genetic, environmental, or both. Hydrocephalus Inability of cerebro-spinal fluid to drain into the bloodstream TREATMENTS Recent research has shown that with a regular intake of vitamins and a healthy diet, the risk of developing neural tube defects has decreased. Women who are pregnant are encouraged to eat vegetables and other foods that contain folic acid. This folic acid, or vitamin B9, reduces the risk of recurrence in a second pregnancy. If you feel you are not getting enough of this vitamin in your diet, a daily folic acid supplement may also be taken. Always check with your physician first.

During fetal development, the spinal cord forms in the first few weeks. Spina bifida occurs when the spinal cord fails to close properly. There are many terms that are used to describe these defects: myelomeningocele, meningocele, leptomyelolipoma, open neural tube defect and closed neural tube defect. Sometimes it can be confusing terminology. A closed neural tube defect is often called spina bifida occulta. The spinal cord is not exposed through the skin. This abnormality is often associated with a bony abnormality in the spine or vertebrae. An open neural tube defect is often called a myelomeningocele. A myelomeningocele is a protrusion of the spinal cord and its coverings through an open defect in the skin of the back. An infant born with a myelomeningocele will require surgery soon after birth to close this abnormality. Often an infant born with a myelomeningocele will also have associated hydrocephalus (link to hydrocephalus page). Hydrocephalus is a condition where too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates within the cavities inside the brain (ventricles). In infants with a myelomeningocele, a disruption of normal CSF circulation may occur, resulting in hydrocephalus. Symptoms Children with spina bifida have varying degrees of neurological problems or symptoms. The extent of the problems that the child may experience is directly related to the level of the spinal cord defect. Usually, the higher the level of neural tube defect, the more problems the child may have. In addition to hydrocephalus, children may have bowel and bladder difficulties, inability to move or weakness in the legs, club feet or spine problems. Most children have normal IQ's, but many have subtle degrees of learning disability.

Extractions: What is spina bifida? Spina bifida, also called myelodysplasia, is a condition in which there is abnormal development of the back bones, the spinal cord, the surrounding nerves, and the fluid-filled sac that surrounds the spinal cord. This neurological condition can cause a portion of the spinal cord and the surrounding structures to develop outside, instead of inside, the body. The defect can occur anywhere along the spine. What are the types of spina bifida? The types of spina bifida include the following: spina bifida occulta - a mild form of spina bifida in which the spinal cord and the surrounding structures remain inside the baby, but the back bones in the lower back area fail to form normally. There may be a hairy patch, a dimple, or a birthmark over the area of the defect. Other times, there may be no abnormalities in the area. meningocele - a moderate form of spina bifida in which a fluid-filled sac is visible outside of the back area. The sac does not contain the spinal cord or nerves.
