Well I have Spina Bifida Occulta which is the mildest form and have been told there can be complications such as dural tap etc. I have also been told that the epidural may not work, may be patchy or may be stronger than usual. It apparently is very individual due to the site of the Spina Bifida - I think epidural is administered on L5 but apparently may be done above this area. The lady at my dad's work had said for her, her epidural was patchy. You will need to consult anaesthesis to be sure on your own case.
