NCHS Home Accessibility Search NCHS NCHS ... Contact us Trends in Spina Bifida and Anencephalus in the United States, 1991-2002 by T. J. Mathews, M.S. In 1992 the U.S. Public Health Service recommended that women of childbearing age increase consumption of the vitamin folic acid to reduce spina bifida and anencephalus. In 1996 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized that all enriched cereal grain products be fortified with folic acid with an optional period starting in March 1996 with mandatory fortification beginning January 1998. The 1999 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey released results showing that these public health actions have been effective in increasing folate status among U.S. women of childbearing age ( MMWR , October 27, 2000). Birth certificate data in the United States have been available for selected birth defects since 1989 from the National Vital Statistics System, a component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). This Health e-stat provides a 12-year trend for two neural tube defects, spina bifida and anencephalus. After a significant increase in the spina bifida rate from 1992 to 1995 there was a significant decline from 1995 to 1999. The rate was stable from 1999 to 2002. The rates for 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 were significantly lower than in 1997. The rate of spina bifida in 2002 was 20.13 per 100,000 live births.

Specialist Answers SPINA BIFIDA- PATIENT INFORMATION What is spina bifida? "Spina Bifida" comes from 2 words "Spina" meaning spine, "bifida" meaning split or divided. Spina bifida is the term used to describe a birth defect resulting from abnormal fusion of the developing spinal tissues and even the brain. How does spina bifida occur? What are the types of spina bifida? Spina bifida occulta Spina bifida occulta refers to a defect in the vertebra (spine bone). Usually the central nervous system is not involved. The neurological examination is normal. Most frequently the skin is normal over the vertebral defect however, associated dimples, sinuses, increased hair, fatty lump and hemangiomata (swelling consisting of blood vessels) may indicate the presence of spina bifida. Spina Bifida Aperta Meningocele: Meningocele becomes evident at birth with observation of a cystic skin covered midline mass over the back. Half of one or more vertebrae are absent and the sac is composed of CSF (brain fluid), meninges (tissues covering the brain and the spinal cord) and skin. The reminder of the CNS is not involved and the prognosis for development is excellent. About 10% of the patients with spina bifida will have meningocele.

The neural tube develops to form the spinal cord, brain and spine. When Spina Bifida occurs, the tube is split and one or more vertebrae (small bones of the back) fail to form properly, thus leaving a gap. There are three main types of spina bifida. Spina bifida occulta where the only sign of the malformation is a dimple or hair at the site of the defect on the skin of the back. This condition is very mild and is usually symptomless although occasionally there may be continence problems and difficulties with mobility. In Spina bifida cystica a sac or cyst is visible on the back covered by a thin layer of skin. There are two forms: a meningocele and a myelomeningocele. In a meningocele the sac contains tissues which cover the spinal cord and cerebro-spinal fluid. The nerves are not normally badly damaged and there is little or no malfunction. This is the least common form of spina bifida.

Although it came as a shock as my husband and I were not planning on starting a family at that time, it was wonderful news to me! Me, a "MOM"! My pregnancy was going very well and I looked forward to being a "first time" mom. I went into labor on the morning of May 31 st , 1992. My labor was minimal and after nearly 20 hours I went to the hospital. (Boy, wouldn’t it be great if labor was "always" that easy!) Dr. Sutherland was paged and I was prepped for a c-section as to avoid any unnecessary trauma to my son during birth. Nicholas, was born at 7:37am the following morning weighing a healthy 6-lbs. 12 oz.
