Low blood pressure in children with Spina Bifida is often caused by autonomic dysfunction, which affects the body's ability to regulate blood pressure and blood flow. This condition can result from damage to the nerves that control blood vessel constriction and heart rate. Additionally, factors such as reduced physical activity, medications, and fluid volume imbalances may contribute to hypotension in these children. Early intervention and management are important to address these challenges.
