The spine, which would have a deformity causing an opening in the lower part of the spine and nerve damage from that point down; the brain can be effected, with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and in severe cases, mental retardation, and in more mild cases, possible learning disabilities such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD); the legs and/or feet may be paralyzed or partially paralyzed. The hydrocephalus would require a shunt, which is a tube placed in the brain to drain the excess cerebrospinal fluid out. The bladder and bowels are sometimes affected, with the person having no or limited control of them.

In Spina Bifida what parts of the body are affected?

If you are talking what countries have spina bifida, it would be everywhere. If you are talking about where on the human body, it is on the back, usually in the lower back. This is because the neural tube begins closing in the middle and then progresses towards the top and bottom, so the last places to close are near the head and near the lower back.
