Very little is known about the clinical manifestations of early-onset occult spina bifida. Experts point out that there may be various pathological changes in the spinal canal at the site of spina bifida, such as scarring, adhesions, emboli, combined lipomas or dermatomal or epithelioid tumors, resulting in pressure or involvement of the spinal cord and nerve roots, leading to a series of neurological symptoms. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of early-onset occult spina bifida. What are the symptoms of early-onset spina bifida? 1, mostly only with the development of the child, found that the development of motor function of the lower limbs and/or urinary control significantly lagged behind that of children of the same age, or appeared lower limb deformities, or by school age still often urine loss, it is considered that it may be due to congenital spina bifida and related lesions resulting in damage to the spinal cord and cauda equina nerve roots. 2. In a few adult cases, the disease was discovered due to manifestations such as urinary incontinence, lumbar and leg pain, and muscular atrophy, or corresponding symptoms after trauma to the lumbosacral region, for which the patient was seen. 3, occult spina bifida and related lesions in infants and children cause symptoms that are often not easily detected. 4. Because the limb and bowel functions of infants and young children are in the process of gradual development and are not perfect, and because they do not complain, it is easy to overlook abnormalities. 5, symptoms associated with occult spina bifida often appear before adulthood, but not all occult spina bifida exhibits symptoms, many patients do not have symptoms until adulthood, and are only discovered by chance when doing X-rays or MRI and other examinations. 6, A few parents visit the doctor early for the child’s sacral skin abnormality to discover the congenital lesion or observe the related symptoms early.
