Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs when the lower part of the neural tube fails to close during fetal development. This can lead to problems with the development of the spinal cord and the bones surrounding it, and can cause a range of physical and neurological symptoms. Neither cerebral palsy, anencephaly, nor sciatica are caused by a failure of the neural tube to close.
