Question

What are the symptoms of pediatric spina bifida?

Answer

The symptoms of pediatric spina bifida may include leg pain, abnormal temperature perception, muscle atrophy, and more. Parents should pay close attention to their child’s symptoms and communicate with doctors in a timely manner. For children with only mild symptoms, surgery to remove cysts may be possible; however, for those with neurological symptoms, more complex treatments may be required, including acupuncture, massage therapy, and other rehabilitation treatments. Nevertheless, the ultimate effectiveness of these treatments may not always meet expectations. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and follow medical instructions for treatment.
