“4 Types of Spina Bifida. Many babies with myelomeningocele tend to be in a feet-first (breech) position. If your baby is in this position or if your doctor has detected a large cyst or sac, cesarean birth may be a safer way to deliver your baby. Myelomeningocele requires surgery to close the opening in the baby’s back within 72 hours of birth. Performing the surgery early can help minimize the risk of infection associated with the exposed nerves. It may also help protect the spinal cord from more trauma. During the procedure, a neurosurgeon places the spinal cord and exposed tissue inside the baby’s body and covers them with muscle and skin.  Than its  treatment for complications — such as weak legs, bladder and bowel problems, or hydrocephalus — typically begins soon after birth. Ongoing care and even though there is no cure most people with spina bifida lead long and productive lives. !”.
