Hypoplasia and dysplasia of spinal cord - what does this mean

Hypoplasia and dysplasia of the spinal cord occur when the spinal cord does not form correctly during embryonic development. this can result in the spinal cord being smaller or narrower than normal, or having an abnormal shape, which can lead to neurological deficits and physical disabilities.

What happens during the disease - hypoplasia and dysplasia of spinal cord

Hypoplasia and dysplasia of the spinal cord is a congenital disorder that is caused by a lack of normal development of the spinal cord during the prenatal period. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, environmental factors, or maternal health conditions. the lack of normal development of the spinal cord leads to underdevelopment and malformation of the nerve cells, resulting in a decrease in nerve conduction velocity, and ultimately leading to a range of neurological symptoms.
