What else can I help you with?
In spina bifida does the cerebrum and part of the brain stem never develop?
No, that is not a part of Spina Bifida. What does happen with many children with Spina Bifida is a condition called Arnold Chiari II, which causes the cerebellum and the brain stem to extend down into the area where the spinal cord is, which can cause various problems such as swallowing and feeding problems in the infant with Spina Bifida.
Does spina bifida last your whole life?
Spina Bifida is a lifelong disability that can never be outgrown.
My chin is 30 inches long do I have Spina Bifida?
The size of one's chin has nothing to do with Spina Bifida. If you have Spina Bifida, you would have a scar on your lower back where you had a hole when you were born, or if you have the more mild form, Spina Bifida Occulta, you might have a patch of hair or a dimple on your lower back that would indicate missing vertebrae or parts of vertebrae. Many people with Spina Bifida Occulta never know they have it.
Can you learn how to walk if you have Spina Bifida?
Yes. I have spina bifida and I'm twenty years old and I've been able to walk completely normal my entire life with no crutches or braces of any kind and have never had any complications. Not all people with Spina Bifida can walk. It depends on the severity of the condition in the individual. But with advances in medicine, children with Spina Bifida can now receive early intervention and many are able to walk, at least with crutches or a walker, if not unaided.
What is spina bifida oculta?
Spina Bifida Occulta is the mildest from of this neural tube defect where the spinal cord fails to develop properly. Spina Bifida Occulta can be asymptomatic, meaning you may never know you have it or get any symptoms.

What are the three different parts of the human brain?
The brain can be divided into the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum: * cerebrum The cerebrum (supratentorial or front of brain) is composed of the right and left hemispheres. Functions of the cerebrum include: initiation of movement, coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, emotions, and learning. * brainstem The brainstem (midline or middle of brain) includes the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. Functions of this area include: movement of the eyes and mouth, relaying sensory messages (hot, pain, loud, etc.), hunger, respirations, consciousness, cardiac function, body temperature, involuntary muscle movements, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing. * cerebellum The cerebellum (infratentorial or back of brain) is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium. More specifically, other parts of the brain include the following: * pons A deep part of the brain, located in the brainstem, the pons contains many of the control areas for eye and face movements. * medulla The lowest part of the brainstem, the medulla is the most vital part of the entire brain and contains important control centers for the heart and lungs. * spinal cord A large bundle of nerve fibers located in the back that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back, the spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain and the rest of the body. * frontal lobe The largest section of the brain located in the front of the head, the frontal lobe is involved in personality characteristics and movement. * parietal lobe The middle part of the brain, the parietal lobe helps a person to identify objects and understand spatial relationships (where one's body is compared to objects around the person). The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. * occipital lobe The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision. * temporal lobe The sides of the brain, these temporal lobes are involved in memory, speech, and sense of smell.
If a child 7 years old has Spina Bifida and is having trouble with bowel accidents is this behavioral or could there be a problem that is caused by surgeries or other reasons from the Spina Bifida?
It is extremely unlikely that it is behavioral. Spina Bifida affects the nerves of the bladder and bowel as well as the legs, and will many times result in loss of control of bladder and bowel, as well as partial or complete paralysis of the legs and feet. Children with Spina Bifida can sometimes be taught to use a routine in which they empty the bowel and bladder at specific times of the day, but some cannot even control their bladder and bowel well enough to do that, and will have to wear diapers or other protection for their entire lives. Whether or not they can use a timed routine will depend on how much feeling and control of the bowel and bladder they have. A child who has Spina Bifida should never be punished or scolded for bowel or bladder accidents, as they have limited or no ability to control these functions.

If you already have a child with Spina Bifida should you get pregnant again?
Whether or not you should get pregnant again is a personal decision only you can make. A woman who has no family history, and herself has never given birth to a child with Spina Bifida has a 0.1-0.2% chance of having a child with the condition. A woman who has either a family history or has herself had a previous child with Spina Bifida has about a 3% chance of having a child with Spina Bifida, though this can be reduced to about 1% if she takes at least 4 mg of folic acid per day. It is recommended all women who are contemplating getting pregnant should take folic acid supplementation for at least 3 months before conception and continue it for at least the first trimester of pregnancy.
