Patient's question:
I usually have some minor health issues, but I don't think they're a big deal. However, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, they told me I have congenital spinal stenosis, which surprised me. I want to know what symptoms this condition has.Doctor's answer:
Spina bifida is a common congenital neural tube defect (a small part of the vertebral canal is not completely isolated, including anencephalus, spina bifida, and meningocele). According to the monitoring data from 1986-1987, the incidence rate of neural tube defects was approximately 2.74, with lower rates in the north compared to the south and in rural areas compared to urban areas. The incidence rate of infants born in autumn and winter was lower than that in spring and summer. The male-to-female ratio for spina bifida is 0.6-0.9:1.
