Why Diagnosis Looks Different Across Types of Spina Bifida

Did you know Spina Bifida can be diagnosed at different times in life?

Some forms, like Myelomeningocele and Meningocele, are often identified before birth through prenatal screening.

Others, like Spina Bifida Occulta, may go unnoticed for years and are sometimes discovered during imaging for unrelated back concerns.

The type of Spina Bifida can influence when and how it is diagnosed.
