Spina Bifida Surgery-Mayo Clinic

Every year, thousands of babies are born with spina bifida. It's a birth defect where the spinal column does not close properly, exposing nerves to the environment. Most babies born with spina bifida in the United States have surgery soon after birth. But some children in other countries aren't so lucky. A little boy from Algeria suffered terribly for more than two years until his community helped raise money to send him to Mayo Clinic.

mollypop01 im very sorry for your baby,i really have spina bifida but in my country death out of spina bifida is just %2 but if you live it its %100 for you...im very sorry to i made you unhappy....yes spina bifida has 3 kinds and mine is mmc one...i have 2 problems in live:1-i have no job 2-i have no girl friend (there are more problems but i dont mind other them) in my opinion if a man doesnt make fun of himself,life makes fun of himself

@MollyPop01 i'm sooo sorry to hear of ur loss! i have Spina bifida, and untill recently when i started researching a little about it online, i had no clue how deadly it could get! and even more so how deadly Hydrocepholous is (wich 90% of people born with spina bifida also have hydrocepholous). and i have learned just how lucky i am to be alive! again SOOO sorry to hear about ur loss! that must have been a terrible thing to go thru and i couldnt even begin to imagine!
