(Myelomeningocele) Spina Bifida is one of the most common birth defects in the world. According to N. Scott Adzick‚ MD‚ and other members of CHOP’s Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment team‚ it occurs when the spinal cord does not properly close before birth. That means that the spinal cord is exposed to amniotic fluid during fetal life. Amniotic fluid is the watery fluid within the innermost membrane that encloses the embryo and surrounds the fetus throughout pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is also

This system became popular and widely used by manufactures by 1904.
