Patient's question:
My best friend's son is one year old. I noticed that his lower limbs sometimes experience uncontrolled severe pain. His lower limb temperature is often low and blue. During the prenatal check-up, the doctor said it might be a pediatric spinal cord issue, but after the child was born, there were no obvious symptoms. She is very worried about this possibly being a pediatric spinal cord issue. What are the symptoms of spina bifida?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to guarding the cyst from bursting. The surface skin does not need complete cleaning and sterilization. Children without neurological symptoms or with only mild symptoms can have the cyst removed. Generally, it should be removed after 6 months of birth; if the cyst wall is extremely thin and prone to bursting, surgery can be performed shortly after birth. For lower limb collapse and muscle atrophy caused by spina bifida, acupuncture, massage, and other symptomatic rehabilitation treatments can be tested, but the final effect is unsatisfactory. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
