The incidence of spina bifida has dropped significantly in many countries over the last several years. This change has occurred secondary to the use of folic acid, and prenatal diagnosis with termination of pregnancy. The overall care of children with spina bifida has also changed substantially in the past 30 years. These changes have occurred in all specialties: neurosurgery, urology, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, and orthotics.
