Abstract:
Spina bifida is a fault in the development of spine and the bones around until it leaves gap or defect in the spine. About 36 cases of spina bifida were involved in this research. The characteristis of spina bifida patients, mostly occurs at the patients at the age of > 28 days (83,3%). Most of them were male (52,8%). The most frequent spina bifida patients were the second child (44,4%) and location where spina bifida occurs were at the lumbosakral (72,2%). Classified into spina bifida aperta type (86,1%). The highest age of patients’ mother suffering from spina bifida was at the age of 20-40 (80,6%). In general, rupture didn’t occur on spina bifida patients (94.4%). The weight of spina bifida patients were between 2.500-4.000 gr (94,4%) and they didn’t have other congenital abnormalities (47,2%). The most gestational age of spina bifida patients’ mothers when giving birth were, is at 28-40 weeks (94.4%).

Abstract:
Neural tube defects (NTD) are one of the birth defects or congenital abnormalities that occur in the brain and spine, and commonly find in newborns worldwide. Anencephaly and spina bifida are the two prevalent forms of NTD. The incidence of spina bifida happen on average 1 in 1000 cases of birth worldwide and there are 140,000 cases per year worldwide. Source searches were carried out on the online portal of journal publications as many as 20 sources from MedScape, Google Scholar and the Nation Center for Biotechnology Information / NCBI with the keywords “Neural tube defects (NTD), prevention, and spina bifida”. Spina bifida is a congenital abnormality that occurs in the womb due to a failure of closing process the neural tube during the first few weeks of embryonic development which causes the spine not completely close around the developing spinal cord nerves. NTD can ensue multifactorial conditions such as genetic, environmental, and folate deficiency. The use of folic acid supplementation starting at least 3 months before pregnancy, those are 400 mcg (0.4 mg) per day and 800 mcg per day during pregnancy can reduce the risk of developing neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Generally, spina bifida is undertaking by surgery and the regulation of patients comorbid. Public can find out prevention to avoid or reduce the risk of spina bifida so that the incidence of spina bifida can decrease along with the increasing awareness of the community regarding this disease.

Abstract:
Introduction: Post-polio syndrome is defined as a specific clinical condition that affects individuals previously affected by acute anterior poliomyelitis and, undoubtedly, is an exclusion diagnosis. Among the range of differential diagnoses, spina bifida may be one of them. Spina bifida is a condition that affects the spine and is usually apparent at birth. It is a type of neural tube defect (NTD) and can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way. When the neural tube doesn’t close all the way, the backbone that protects the spinal cord doesn’t form and close as it should. This often results in damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Case Report: We report the case of a patient, male, 49 years old, with an alleged diagnosis of post-poliomyelitis syndrome (PPS) for benefit renewal due to permanent and disabling motor disability. After a thorough clinical history and neurological evaluation, in addition to the characteristic findings of spina bifida: bilateral pes cavus, fecal and urinary incontinence, surgical incision in the lumbar region, genu varus, amyotrophyparesis in lower limbs and abolition of bilateral Achilles reflexes, spina bifida diagnoses was considered. Conclusion: This article presents some “clinical pearls” in the differential diagnoses of spinal cord diseases. The possibility of PPS was excluded and the application for the benefit for spina bifida was redone. In addition to the post-history diagnoses determined by the diagnosis of diagnostic syndrome (that were not scored by our patient), the sum of the clinical history, the neurological examination and anchored spine in the image by revisions, were the foundation for the diagnosis of the bifida spina.

Abstract:
Spina bifida is a developmental defect of the spinal cord and / or spine that results from abnormal closure of the embryonic neural tube. Many factors have been described to determine the risks of developing this pathology, but the incidence of the defect is still high. 61 % of patients with Spina bifida have neurogenic bladder dysfunction based on intravesical hypertension, which contributes to reverse urethral flow and bladder-uretero-renal reflux associated with chronic inflammatory and obstructive urinary tract disease. In 25-50 % of patients with Spina bifida, urological pathology is complicated by the development of chronic kidney disease, which significantly reduces the quality of life of these patients. In some types of Spina bifida, urological symptoms may be prominent or even isolated and may indicate the presence of the malformation. Therefore, early diagnosis of Spina bifida and timely prophylactic and therapeutic measures are of particular importance.

Abstract:
Spina Bifida (SB) is a neural tube defect (NTD) due defect in neural tube,characterized by incomplete closure of spinal column. Occurrence of SB varies in differentcountries. In developed countries, it is about 0.4 per 1000 births, in US 0.7 per 1000 births and inAsia 1.9 per 1000 births. SB mostly occurs during first trimester of pregnancy. Variants of SB areSpina bifida Occulata, Spina bifida Cystica [meningocele and myelomeningocele], Spina bifidaManifesta and Spina bifida Aperta. Among these myelomeningocele is the most common type.Causing agents of SB may be genetic, non-genetic or environmental factors. Non-genetic factorsinvolve anti-convulsant drugs, anti-epileptic drugs, maternal obesity, maternal diabetes andpoor nutritional status (folate and vitamin B12 deficiency). Environmental factors are pesticides,nitrated compounds and air pollution. Common manifestations are brain malformations (ArnoldChiari II malformation and hydrocephalus), spinal cord abnormalities, latex allergy, breathingproblems, urological abnormalities and cardio-metabolic dysfunction. Diagnostic techniquesfor Spina bifida are ultrasound screening, Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI), amniocentesisand maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein. To prevent the risk of Spina bifida, it is recommended forthe mother to use 0.4mg of folic acid per day or in mothers affected with multiple pregnanciesrecommended dose of folic acid is 4mg per day.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction: Spina bifida is a spine malformation that appears as an incomplete closure of the spine during development. Most frequently it involves lumbosacral vertebrae. There are two types of spina bifida: spina bifida aperta and spina bifida occulta. In most of the cases spina bifida occulta is asymptomatic, and it is identified by accident. Objectives: the aim of this study was to correlate localization of spina bifida occulta with age and sex of the patients. Materials and methods: Between July 2017 and January 2019 there have been 108 patients diagnosed with spina bifida occulta at the Radiology Department of Dora Medicals Tîrgu Mureș. The diagnoses were based on thoracolumbar spine x-ray, pelvic x-ray and chest x-ray studies requested by specialist physicians. Radiologic diagnosis was followed by data processing and statistical analysis. Results: In 81% of the cases the lesion was localized to vertebra S1, and in 15% to vertebra L5; we identified other five cases of rare localizations: C7- T1- T2, T1, T2, S2. This lesion was diagnosed most frequently at ages from 11 to 15 years (44.4%). Spina bifida localized to L5 was more frequent in males (11/16, 68.7%). Cases localized to S1 were more frequent in females (60/88, 68.1%). All spina bifida cases in females localized to vertebra L5 were diagnosed before 20 years of age. Conclusions: Our results partially correspond to those reported in other published studies.

Abstract:
Object. Tethering of the spinal cord is a well-known complication in humans with spina bifida aperta or occulta. Its pathogenesis consists of a pathological fixation of the spinal cord resulting in traction on the neural tissue which, in turn, leads to ischemia and progressive neurological deterioration. Although well established in humans, this phenomenon has not been described in animal models of spina bifida. Methods. A fetal mouse model with naturally occurring, genetically determined spina bifida was produced by generating double mutants between the curly tail and loop-tail mutant strains. Microdissection, labeling with 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate, immunohistochemistry for neurofilaments, H & E staining of histological sections, and whole-mount skeletal preparations were performed and comparisons made among mutant and normal fetuses. Normal fetuses exhibited the onset of progressive physiological ascent of the spinal cord from embryonic Day 15.5. Spinal cord ascent resulted, by embryonic Day 18.5, in spinal nerve roots that pass caudolaterally from the spinal cord toward the periphery. In contrast, fetuses with spina bifida exhibited spinal cord tethering that resulted, at embryonic Day 18.5, in nerve roots that run in a craniolateral direction from the spinal cord. The region of closed spinal cord immediately cranial to the spina bifida lesion exhibited marked narrowing, late in gestation, suggesting that a potentially damaging stretch force is applied to the spinal cord by the tethered spina bifida lesion. Conclusions. This mouse model provides an opportunity to study the onset and early sequelae of spinal cord tethering in spina bifida.

Abstract:
Background. Spina bifida is a serious defect in the development of the spine and spinal cord. It is accompanied by several orthopedic disorders of the spine and lower limbs, including fractures of long tubular bones. In spina bifida, osteoporosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of motor disorders. Aim. The objective was to determine the patterns of occurrence and the clinical and radiological features of fractures of the long tubular bones of the lower limbs in children with sequelae of spina bifida. Materials and methods. From 2006 to 2017, 544 patients with spina bifida were examined and treated at the Turner Research Institute for Children’s Orthopedics. Clinical-neurological and radiographic methods were used. The neurosegmental level of spinal cord involvement was determined using the Sharrard classification, and the motor level was assessed according to the method proposed by Melbourne Medical University. Results. The clinical picture of a fracture of a long tubular bone in a child with spina bifida has many characteristics. There was no abnormal mobility in the fracture site in 56% of cases, edema was absent in 88% of children, and pain in the fracture region was observed in only 19% of cases. The radiographic features of the atypical fracture of long tubular bones in children with sequelae of spina bifida included lack of a fracture line, presence of a hypertrophic periosteal reaction, and sclerosis areas at the fracture site. Conclusion. The frequency and localization of fractures of the lower limbs in children with sequelae of spina bifida are determined according to the neurosegmental level. The clinical picture of fracture often differs from usual fractures by the absence of pain syndrome, edema in the fracture region, and displacement of bone fragments, which must be considered for diagnosis. The peculiarities of the clinical and radiological picture are associated with the presence of osteoporosis in this pathology due to a decrease in the motor activity level of the patients.

Abstract:
Abstract Fetal spina bifida is a neurological disorder which occurs due to improper closure of the spinal column. Fetus identified with spina bifida suffers from various paralytic disorders throughout their lifespan. Early diagnosis of spina bifida aids in timely medical interventions. The ultrasound imaging is widely preferred for fetal monitoring. This study involves segmentation of the normal and abnormal fetal spine from ultrasound images using active contour algorithm. The images for analysis are collected from a diagnostic centre. The noise present in the images is removed using Wiener filter and anisotropic diffusion (AD) filter. The denoised images are evaluated with the metrics such as signal to noise ratio (SNR), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and mean square error (MSE). The contrast enhancement is performed by histogram equalization (HE) and adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) techniques. The contrast enhanced images are validated by measures namely entropy and adaptive mean brightness error (AMBE). From the pre-processed image, the spine region is segmented using the active contour method. The results demonstrate that the AD filter with optimal parameters performs better than the Wiener filter for denoising. For the contrast enhancement, the AHE technique shows better performance compared to HE. The active contour technique is able to segment the spine regions in both the normal and spina bifida images. As early diagnosis of spina bifida is essential, this approach could be clinically significant.

Abstract:
Spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM) is the most common and severe type of spina bifida which is a neural tube defect (NTD). Additionally to the defect of the spinal cord most cases of SBM develop an Arnold-Chiari-II malformation, which is the main reason behind the common development of hydrocephalus. Children with SBM have a rather different cognitive profile than typically developing children. Hence, this thesis reviews the neurological impact on the cognitive profile and its relation to the social impairments found for this population. The Arnold-Chiari-II malformation is a malformation of the hindbrain which affects structures of the hindbrain, midbrain, ventricular system and subcortical gray matter. These deficits lead to impairments in the cognitive domains of executive functioning, visual-spatial working memory, intelligence, language, and learning. The consequences of these cognitive deficits are often on the social aspects of life. Two aspects affected are education and work, projecting in less academic success and a higher rate of unemployment. By clarifying the relationship between all of these aspects there is hope to improve the life of these individuals, especially on an educational basis.

Abstract:
This thesis reports a study which explored children's understanding and experience of spina bifida. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 children aged 8-11 years with spina bifida. A grounded theory approach was used to develop 'theories' from the data. Analysis of the data suggest that all participants were aware of 'being different' from their "normal" able-bodied siblings and peers and that many identified themselves in terms of having spina bifida; they spoke about being picked on, teased and about other types of bullying; and all of them disliked their physical appearance. Several ways of coping with spina bifid a were also talked about by the children. Knowledge about spina bifida tended to be functional and obtained from parents; most of the participants reported that little information about treatment was given by medical professionals which seemed to contribute to anxiety regarding treatment and hospitalization. The implications of the findings for clinical practice and further research are considered.

Abstract:
This thesis represents an attempt to further our knowledge of the ophthalmic complications of spina bifida and hydrocephalus by means of literature review and a long term clinical study, and to determine whether regular ophthalmic supervision can assist in the general management of affected children. The ophthalmic complications of spina bifida have often been reported in the literature and thought to merit regular supervision of affected children, yet few centres currently offer this service. In this study 322 children attending one regional centre were examined repeatedly over a six year period by one ophthalmologist. Ophthalmic complications were found to be very common. They frequently provided evidence of raised intracranial pressure due to shunt dysfunction even when other objective evidence was lacking. Every spina bifida and hydrocephalus clinic should have an ophthalmalogist in its medical team. Preservation of visual function and early diagnosis of raised intracranial pressure in these children should result from this arrangement.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: In order to transition to adulthood and independence, youth with spina bifida must assume significant self-management responsibilities including monitoring for shunt malfunction, maintaining intact skin in areas that are insensate, and maintaining proper bowel and bladder function. Validated measures of specific spina bifida self-management skills are lacking and this hampers the ability of clinical personnel to support successful transition for youth with spina bifida. METHODS: We developed a self-report measure specific to SB self-management skills consistent with the framework of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ). To test the predictive validity of the tool we surveyed 90 youth and young adults ages 12-25 with spina bifida attending a multidisciplinary clinic participating in the National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR). RESULTS: Adjusted for age, gender, race, insurance status and lesion level, higher scores on the TRAQ-SB (increased self-management) were negatively associated with urinary incontinence in the past month. Only lesion level, and not TRAQ-SB scores, was a significant predictor of stool incontinence and skin breakdown. CONCLUSIONS: Higher TRAQ-SB scores are negatively associated with bladder incontinence in youth with spina bifida. While stool continence and skin breakdown were not associated with TRAQ-SB scores, this relation is complex and may be obfuscated by either reporting bias or outcome measurement bias. To further refine the questionnaire and understand this relationship we need to field it prospectively in the SB network with larger samples. The TRAQ-SB questionnaire, however, does have value in the clinical setting to help promote the acquisition of specific self-management skills among youth with spina bifida.

Background: Spina Bifida (SB) is one of the leading causes of disability in children globally. Its management in Sub-Saharan countries is quite challenging and has shown to be an expensive public health problem. A recent study on SB has shown that physiotherapy is poorly utilised in Zambia. Although it is very cardinal in the rehabilitation of children right from birth, very little is known on the role of physiotherapy in the management of children with SB. Aim: To investigate the role of physiotherapy in the management of SB patients both at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and Beit Cure International Hospital (BCIH) during the period: January 2010 to December 2014. Study design: A sequential explanatory mixed study design was used for this study. An adapted validated data extraction form was used to capture quantitative data from hospital records, while an interview guide was used in in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGDs) with specialist physiotherapists. Data analysis: Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 23 and descriptive statistics represented on graphs, charts and tables in form of percentages and frequency distributions. Qualitative data was audiotaped during the focus group discussion and in-depth interviews, transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was used. Results: A total number of 207 children with SB were managed during the period under review at the two hospitals with the most prevalent type of SB being myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus at 69.4%, commonly located in the lumbar region 53.3%, prone in female patients 55.6%. A total of 38% had an increased tone while 2% had low tone indicating the need for physiotherapy. Through purposive sampling, a total of eight physiotherapists took part in the qualitative study. Results showed that there are poor referral systems for physiotherapy at the two hospitals making follow up quite difficult at times. Information on physiotherapy sessions was not included in patient files but only indicated in the physiotherapy departmental registers. Some physiotherapists felt that their role in the rehabilitation process was not known amongst team members such as surgeons. However, the availability of assistive devices at the hospitals helped provide better services which in turn promoted improvement in patients and also contributed to motivation. Conclusion: Having undergone some training as rehabilitation team members, all the physiotherapists noted that training helped to empower them, gain experience and changed attitudes of some rehabilitation team towards them. It is therefore recommended that the referral system and documentation be improved upon in order to effectively work together as a rehabilitation team with common goals.

Abstract:
Background: Spina bifida is a birth defect not fully understood, which suggests the association of genetic factors with environmental factors as possible causes. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological data of Spina Bifida in the period from 2010 to 2019 in Brazil. Design and setting: Descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study with patients with Spina Bifida in Brazil between 2010 and 2019. Methods: Study realized using data from the Department of Information of the Brazilian Health System (DATASUS). The data used were classification, sex, ethnicity, Regions of Brazil, mother’s age and adequacy to prenatal care. Results: In this period, there were 10,309 cases of spina bifida and a record of 229 deaths. In classification criteria, a non-specific spina bifida predominated, corresponding to 74.3%. The greatest number of hospitalizations occurs in children under 1 year of age. At maternal age, cases of spina bifida prevailed in mothers aged 15 to 29 years. Regarding prenatal, 36.91% were considered more than adequate. The Northeast is the region with the most reports of spina bifida cases in the country. In relation to sex, girls are followed up similarly to boys. The black race and the white count the majority of cases. Conclusion: The profile of anomalous patients is brown skin and less than 1 year old of both sexes and children of mothers aged between 15 and 29 years. Spina Bifida unspecified is the most frequent.

Abstract:
Background: Spina bifida is the second leading cause of motor disability in childhood. Therefore, it’s important to know if the therapeutic offer for spina bifida is fulfilling its demand. Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between the number of treatments and the incidence of spina bifida in Brazil, between 2016 and 2019. Design and Setting: Descriptive, retrospective study, with secondary data collected in the Hospital Information System of SUS (SIH / SUS) and the Information System of Live Births (SINASC), between 2016 and 2019, in Brazil. Methods: Variables used: frequency of spina bifida by live births and quantity of treatments. Results: In 2016, the frequency of spina bifida by live births was 746 and the number of procedures for treating the disease was 360, resulting in a 0.48 ratio between the treatment quantity and the affected live births. In 2017, the frequency was 711 and the procedure quantity was 337, with a 0.47 proportion. In 2018, the frequency was 726, the procedure quantity 294, with a 0.4 proportion. In 2019, the frequency decreased to 694, with 288 procedures, and a 0.41 proportion. In total, there were 2,877 live births with spina bifida and 1,300 hospital procedures, with a proportion of 0.45. Conclusions: The study shows a clear disparity between the frequency of spina bifida and the procedure quantity for this condition. In addition, the number of procedures was decreased, without a proportional declination in the disease incidence, indicating a need for greater public investment for such treatments.
