What are the Long-Term Outcomes for Children with Neural Tube Defects?
The long-term outcomes for children with NTDs depend on the type and severity of the defect. Children with mild forms of spina bifida may lead relatively normal lives with minimal intervention. However, those with more severe forms may require lifelong medical care and support. Regular follow-up with healthcare providers, including pediatric neurologists and physical therapists, is essential for managing complications and improving outcomes.
