  Infants born with spina bifida cystica require surgery to place the meninges and in severe cases the spinal cord and nerve roots back into the spinal column and close the opening in the vertebrae. Early surgical intervention is critical to help minimize the risk of infection related to exposed nerves or additional trauma. After surgery, the infant may be placed in a side-lying position to prevent irritation to the operative site on the back. In infants with hydrocephalus, a shunt may also be inserted to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid into the abdomen. Since spina bifida occulta is often asymptomatic with minimal complications, surgery is typically indicated for meningocele and myelomeningocele. […] Infants with spina bifida should be placed in a prone position to prevent pressure on the lumbar sac. Since the sac is vulnerable to rupture leading to infection of the spinal cord, precautions should be implemented to prevent complications.

  The lumbar sac on the infant’s lower back is covered with a moist sterile dressing to minimize the risk of infection. Infants with myelomeningocele may develop meningitis, leading to brain injury and possibly death. […] Hydrocephalus is common among children with spina bifida. The child’s inability to drain fluid from the brain leads to fluid accumulation that may cause neurological problems or mental retardation. Measuring the child’s head circumference is critical for early detection and intervention for hydrocephalus. To relieve pressure on the brain, a shunt may be surgically inserted to drain excess fluid into the abdomen. […] In infants, a bulging, tense fontanel is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. Increased ICP may develop into hydrocephalus and lead to neurological complications.

  Other congenital malformations commonly occur in patients with spina bifida. Additional conditions may include hydrocephalus, scoliosis, hip dislocation, and clubfoot. […] Spina bifida may affect the ability to voluntarily relax the muscle sphincters that hold stool in the rectum. Children experiencing lack of bowel control have issues with fecal incontinence. An antegrade continence enema (ACE) procedure may be performed to help eliminate stool. […] Neurogenic bladder is a common issue in children with myelomeningocele. Since children with this condition are unable to voluntarily relax the muscle sphincters that hold urine in the bladder, they may require intermittent catheterization to periodically drain urine from the bladder. Teach the child and parent techniques for emptying the bladder to prevent overfilling that may lead to kidney injury.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/311113-treatment

  Treatment strategies are designed to prevent deterioration of renal function and to establish infection-free social continence. These goals can be accomplished by several different methods of bladder drainage, including intermittent catheterization, vesicostomy, and placement of indwelling catheters. […] Clean intermittent catheterization on a regular schedule is preferred to the use of long-term indwelling catheters, as it keeps children drier, less prone to infection, and in better control of urinary function. […] Assisted bowel programs designed to empty the bowels regularly can establish social continence and prevent constipation. Patients are guided to develop a regimen for bowel movements, usually on a daily or every-other-day basis. […] Individualized programs are necessary for proper bowel management, given the different manifestations of defecation dysfunction seen in patients with myelomeningocele. Consistency of the routine is extremely important for avoidance of accidents. Behavior modification and biofeedback techniques have increased success in achieving bowel continence in some children with myelomeningocele.

  Children with spina bifida need close follow-up care and observation. Their healthcare professionals evaluate their growth, the need for vaccinations and general medical issues. Medical care is coordinated among specialists. […] Treatment options may include: Walking and mobility aids. Some babies may start exercises to prepare their legs for walking with braces or crutches when the babies are older. […] Routine bowel and bladder evaluations and management help reduce the risk of organ damage and illness. […] Most babies with myelomeningocele need surgery to place a tube that allows fluid in the brain to drain into another part of the body. […] Special equipment such as bath chairs, commode chairs and standing frames may help with daily functioning. Most spina bifida complications can be treated or managed to improve quality of life. […] Parents and other caregivers are a key part of the team. They can learn how to help manage a child’s condition and how to encourage and support the child emotionally and socially.

  Considerable attention may be needed to prevent the „outhouse syndrome,” in which the patient’s physical problems give rise to social consequences because of a failure to comply with an appropriate bowel regimen. Clean intermittent catheterization has been a very helpful adjunct to the preservation of urinary function. […] In addition to physical therapy, rehabilitation for spina bifida includes occupational and recreational therapy; speech therapy may be indicated for patients with speech and/or swallowing difficulties. […] Physical therapy programs are designed to parallel the normal achievement of gross motor milestones. Occupational therapy should be initiated early to compensate for motor skill deficits and should progress along the normal developmental sequence. Recreational therapy is helpful for promoting independence by enhancing play and recreational opportunities.

  The goal of bracing is to allow patients to function at the maximum level permitted by their neurologic lesion and intelligence. Bracing also ensures a normal developmental progression, its aim being to enable patients to ambulate and to participate in appropriate age-related activities. […] General functional expectations have been developed for patients in each lesion-level group to help direct physical therapy goals within an appropriate developmental context from infancy through adulthood. […] Children with spina bifida often have impairment in fine motor skills and in conducting ADL. Initiate training early to compensate for these deficits and to progress along the developmental sequence as closely as possible. […] Children with myelomeningocele often experience restricted play and recreational opportunities because of limited mobility and physical limitations.

  Spina bifida is a spinal cord malformation that occurs in varying degrees of severity. […] Patients with myelomeningocele present with a spectrum of impairments, but the primary functional deficits are lower limb paralysis and sensory loss, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and cognitive dysfunction. […] Treatment advances have allowed an increasing number of patients with neural tube defects to participate and be productive in mainstream society. However, medical, surgical, and rehabilitation issues arise in the patient with myelomeningocele, from birth through adulthood. […] The need for a team approach is recognized in contemporary treatment of spina bifida. […] Participation in the care of patients with major, chronic physical disabilities requires commitment, coordination, and access to extensive clinical resources. Improved survival rates in patients with spina bifida can be expected with treatment; quality of life is at least partially dependent on the speed, efficiency, and comprehensiveness of that treatment from birth.

  In the United States, antibiotics, sac closure, and ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement are the standard of care for spina bifida and are implemented in the perinatal period in 93-95% of patients. Supportive care alone may be recommended in cases associated with an irreparable sac, active gross CNS infection or bleeding, and/or other gross congenital organ anomalies causing life-threatening problems. […] Patients with spina bifida require extensive, active, interdisciplinary treatment by a trained and coordinated team. Neonatal neurosurgery is followed by monitoring of head size and condition for potential hydrocephalus, evaluation of sphincters, and progression toward an appropriate bowel and bladder regimen. […] Early monitoring of motor function in the lower extremities also is necessary. Such monitoring should later consist of serial orthopedic examination, including muscle strength and joint range-of-motion (ROM) assessment, to detect any early changes that may require intervention. In addition, patients should be monitored for appropriate development and be provided with prolonged physical therapy, gym resources, and adaptive training while in school. Subsequent efforts are necessary to encourage, develop, and maintain independence.

  A child with Meningomyelocele usually is operated on within two to three days of birth. This prevents infections and helps save the spinal cord from more damage. […] A child with Meningocele usually has it treated with surgery, and more often than not, the child is not paralyzed. Most children with this condition grow up fine, but they should be checked by a doctor because they could have other serious problems, too. […] A child with OSD should see a surgeon. Most experts think that surgery is needed early to keep nerves and the brain from becoming more damaged as the child grows. […] Spina Bifida Occulta usually does not need to be treated. […] As type and level of severity differ among people with Spina Bifida, each person with the condition faces different challenges and may require different treatments. […] The best way to manage Spina Bifida is with a team approach. Members of the team may include neurosurgeons, urologists, orthopedists, physical and occupational therapists, orthoptists, psychologists, and medical social workers.

  Closure of the myelomeningocele is performed immediately after birth if external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is present. […] Neurosurgical follow-up is required to recognize the complications of hydrocephalus or a possible tethered cord and to monitor any potential causes of seizure activity. […] Children with myelomeningocele should be scheduled for regular follow-up visits in the multidisciplinary clinic every 6 months throughout childhood and annually thereafter. […] Since the late 20th century, the incidence of myelomeningocele has undergone a significant reduction in the United States and worldwide. This decline is related to the increasing availability and accuracy of prenatal diagnosis, along with the option for early pregnancy termination and the introduction of primary prevention in the form of folic acid therapy in the periconceptual phase.
