The Spina Bifida Clinic at Nafaur’s Neurocare provides evaluation and follow-up guidance for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents with spina bifida and related congenital spinal conditions.
Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that affects the development of the spine and spinal cord. It may be visible at birth as an opening or swelling on the baby’s back. Some spinal conditions remain hidden and may be identified later through symptoms such as leg weakness, walking difficulties, foot deformity, back pain, or bladder and bowel problems.
The clinic evaluates children with different types of spina bifida and related conditions, including:
Symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of the spinal condition. Parents may notice a swelling, dimple, hair patch, fatty lump, or unusual skin mark over the baby’s back. Other possible concerns include leg weakness, foot deformity, delayed walking, scoliosis, urinary problems, and constipation.
Some children may also need assessment for associated conditions such as hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation.
The Spina Bifida Clinic provides pediatric neurosurgical consultation and assessment based on the child’s symptoms, examination, and available imaging reports. Depending on the condition, evaluation may include MRI of the brain or spine and assessment of neurological function, mobility, and bladder-bowel concerns.
Treatment is different for each child. Some children may need surgical assessment, while others require regular monitoring, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, or support from other specialists. Tethered cord release may be considered in selected cases after clinical and imaging assessment.
Long-term follow-up is important to monitor neurological function, mobility, spinal development, bladder and bowel health, and the child’s developmental progress.

Nafaur’s Neurocare offers pediatric neurosurgical and neurological evaluation for children with spina bifida and related brain and spinal conditions. The clinic also provides guidance on follow-up, rehabilitation planning, and further specialist support when needed.
