The previous answer was garbage. Hair growth from the spinal cord area has to do with mis-regulated gene expression (which may have been the cause of Spina Bifida in the first place) Early in development, some areas of tissue become overly specialized too soon, or areas which should remain stem cell-like fail do so. The neural tube will not fuse as a result, and there may be patches of terminally differentiated hair.

A hairy patch on the lower back can be an indication of Spina Bifida Occulta, a mild form of Spina Bifida which usually doesn't require much intervention. It may cause Back pain, but doesn't always. Often, Spina Bifida Occulta isn't even discovered unless the person has an X-ray or MRI of the back.
