Spina Bifida

Services
Team

Our specialists are equipped to deal with complexities related to spina bifida.

Services

Among other conditions, we treat:

motor and sensory deficits
bladder and bowel control issues (neurogenic bladder and bowel)
fluid around the brain (drained with the use of a shunt)

In addition to our twice-monthly clinics, a pediatrician and nurse are always available by phone. We provide ongoing monitoring to our patients to determine if hospitalization is necessary, or if other forms of treatment, including surgery, are required.

Team

Our specialists include three neurosurgeons, two urologists, a pediatrician, a physiotherapist and a nurse. Orthopedic specialists and occupational therapists are also available to provide consultation.
