Summary
This study details rare pediatric spina bifida (SB) cases in Nigeria, including segmental spinal dysgenesis (SSD) and other atypical forms. Early neuroimaging is vital for diagnosing diverse vertebral anomalies in African populations.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Congenital Anomalies
- Spinal Dysraphism
Background:
- Spina bifida (SB) encompasses a spectrum of congenital anomalies.
- Atypical presentations of SB are less frequently documented, particularly in African cohorts.
- Understanding diverse clinicoradiological features is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
