Unspecified spina bifida with hydrocephalus - what does this mean
Unspecified spina bifida with hydrocephalus is a birth defect caused by the incomplete formation of the neural tube during early fetal development. this results in malformations of the spine, as well as an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, leading to an enlarged head and possible neurological impairments.
What happens during the disease - unspecified spina bifida with hydrocephalus
Unspecified spina bifida with hydrocephalus is caused by a failure of the neural tube to close during embryonic development, resulting in an abnormal opening in the spine. this opening can cause a range of issues, including an accumulation of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus) as a result of impaired flow of cerebrospinal fluid. this can lead to a number of neurological complications, such as intellectual disability, seizures, and motor deficits.
