Can hidden spina bifida be cured?

Invisible spina bifida is curable. With the current level of medical technology, the prognosis for this type of disease is relatively good as long as it is detected and treated early. The treatment of occult spina bifida is clinically categorized into the following two scenarios: First, only mild occult spina bifida without spinal bulge or spinal cord embolism. No special treatment can be done and regular review is sufficient. Second, spina bifida with spinal bulge or spinal embolism. Surgery should be performed as early as possible to repair the bulging spinal membrane and remove the tethering factors to prevent spinal cord traction injury.
