Spina bifida

Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the spinal column does not fully close in the womb. The defect involves the spinal cord, which carries signals from the brain to other parts of the body.
The most common type of spina bifida is an opening in the spine called an esodevelopment of the neural tube. The defect may occur at any point along this area, but it is most often seen in children between 10 and 12 weeks gestation.
Some people with spina bifida have no symptoms or only minor ones; however, others have severe symptoms including paralysis, blindness, urinary tract problems, bowel problems and bowel incontinence (bowel leakage).

Diagnosis of spina bifida

Spina bifida is diagnosed by observing how your child’s brain and spinal cord are connected in the womb. If you notice that a piece of skin has separated and grown abnormally into your child’s spine, or if there are any fluid build-ups on the back or sides of their abdomen, this can be an indicator that they have spina bifida.

Treatment of spina bifida

There are several treatment options for spina bifida, including surgery to repair the injury, surgery to remove the damaged tissue, and physical therapy to help the child learn how to control their body.

Costs for the treatment of spina bifida in Germany

The treatment of spina bifida depends on the severity of the disease and the extent of damage to surrounding organs, including muscles and nerves.
The average monthly cost of an inpatient surgery is around €20.000 – €30.000 depending on how far along your child’s condition is at the time of surgery.
