Early Stages
The very early stages of a baby’s life consist of cells that form a a disc shape. Between the 15th and 28th day, this disc folds upward and joins together. The cells are now what is called the neural tube, which will later become the spinal cord, spine, and brain. If anywhere along the fold it does not close properly, a neural tube defect (NTD) will result. If the defect is in the upper end, then Anencephaly occurs. This results in the brain being underdeveloped and the child does not survive. If the NTD occurs in the lower end, it is classified as Spina Bifida. There are three main types of Spina Bifida
