Treatment of Spina Bifida?

Once again there is no real treatment of Spina Bifida. If the meningocele is covered by intact skin and no neurologic deficits are present, maybe nothing needs to be done except to be careful about traumatizing the area. If neurologic deficits are present or overlying tissues are fragile or breached, then surgery is needed to repair and protect the area.
