Spinal Dysraphism (Spina bifada occulta – myelomeningocele)
Group of congenital malformations due to a failure of the two halves of some spinous vertebrae to fuse, leading to a defect in the vertebral column protrusion and dysplasia of spinal cord. Affects about 2 in 1000 live births. Severity varies from an asymptomatic spina bifada occulta to myelomeningocele. Defects can be open or closed and generally need surgical repair of the lesion.
Foot deformity:
Present in most cases. Loss of protective sensation and proprioception pressure lesions post-surgical correction of deformity.
