Meningomyelocele

Meningomyelocele repair in India is suggested immediately as the delay in the treatment can cause paralysis, bowel and bladder problems, seizures and orthopaedic conditions. Not just the lower body, it also affects the proper development of the brain.

Symptoms of meningomyelocele

  • Exposed spinal cord
  • A sac on the baby's mid to lower back
  • Orthopaedic deformities
  • Swelling of the brain due to buildup of fluid in the skull
