Patient's question:
I noticed a hole behind my buttocks, so the next day I went to Beijing Children's Hospital for a check-up. At that time, it wasn't confirmed that it was spina bifida. Since childhood, I always wet my pants and bed. Even now, in fourth grade, I still can't control my urine and it comes on quickly.Doctor's answer:
Scoliosis-induced neurogenic bladder must be surgically treated, and the smaller the patient, the better. We usually treat at 2-3 months after birth. Therefore, an MRI should be performed to check for intraspinal abnormalities such as spinal cord tethering, requiring surgical treatment. See: Dr. Dong's neurosurgery space, examples of intraspinal scoliosis.
