Introduction: Spina bifida is a spine malformation that appears as an incomplete closure of the spine during development. Most frequently it involves lumbosacral vertebrae. There are two types of spina bifida: spina bifida aperta and spina bifida occulta. In most of the cases spina bifida occulta is asymptomatic, and it is identified by accident.

Background
If bone union is expected, conservative treatment is generally selected for lumbar spondylolysis. However, sometimes conservative treatments are unsuccessful. We sought to determine the factors associated with failure of bony union in acute unilateral lumbar spondylolysis with bone marrow edema including contralateral pseudarthrosis.

Overview of literature:
With the widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for early diagnosis of lumbar spondylolysis, a new disease stage called pre-lysis has emerged, in which...

Background: Spinal congenital malformations are closely associated with other congenital anomalies, are usually asymptomatic and be found incidentally. Moreover, spine abnormalities such as hemivertebra may cause further complications if left untreated. Among patients with VACTERL anomalies, spine anomalies account for 60-95% of them.

... Однако остается до конца не решенным вопрос, является ли эта форма несращения дуг позвонков разновидностью дефектов нервной трубки, формирующихся на этапе нейруляции, или же это морфологический вариант, формирующийся позднее в онтогенезе, лишь в редких случаях имеющий клиническую значимость [Molto et al., 2019]. Как бы то ни было, изменчивость spina bifida в той форме, в которой ее фиксируют палеопатологи, обнаруживает следующие за-кономерности: в ряде работ показано снижение частоты этого дефекта с возрастом; на материалах могильника в оазисе Дахла (Египет) показана пространственная кластеризация погребенных со spina bifida sacralis, что может указывать на ее присутствие в родственных группах; некоторые авторы отмечают более частую встречаемость аномалии у женщин, другие -у мужчин [Eubanks, Cheruvu, 2009;Milto et al., 2019;Tamas-Csaba et al., 2019]. ...

Spina bifida is a developmental anomaly that is thought to be caused by a combination of hereditary and en-vironmental factors. Though the most significant association was found with the folic acid deficit during early em-bryogenesis, numerous genetic variants were also found to be in some association with the development of neu-ral tube defects, but this data is inconsistent. It is still debated whether the unremarkable anomaly (spina bifida occulta) often observed in osteological samples is truly a form of neural tube defects forming in early embryo-genesis, or is a minor variation that is forming later in postnatal life. Also, data is equivocal regarding the neuro-logical consequences of sacral spina bifida occulta, some pointing to its clinical significance, others stating that it does not affect the wellbeing in any way. Though paleopathological studies on spina bifida are numerous, the frequency of the anomaly remains largely unknown for the Early Iron Age population of the Eurasian steppes. This study examines presence of sacral spina bifida in a Late Scynthian sample (3rd c. BC — 3rd с. AD) from the northern Black Sea region. Totally, 89 skeletons were examined, originating from cemeteries near Nikolayevka and Zolotaya Balka villages (Kherson Oblast, Ukrain). These cemeteries are located along the Dnieper river bank about 90 km apart. The people they represent were settled agriculturalists. The defect was scored when either or all of the three upper sacral vertebrae were affected (S1–S3), its level was recorded. Totally, 16 % of individuals were affected. The majority of defects were observed solely on S1 level. Only two cases of spina bifida sacralis totalis were recorded. The frequency of the anomaly was not significantly different either between males and fe-males, or between younger (<35 years) and older (>35 years) adults. In two instances, two individuals buried in a common grave both had spina bifida sacralis which may point to a biological relationship between them. The fre-quency of spina bifida sacralis is very close to the mean values, reported in the literature. Thus, no evidence of an increased selection against individuals in this group with this form of skeletal anomaly, or a significant impact of envi-ronmental factors, leading to its development in ontogenesis, is present. Also, contrary to literature data, it seems that in this sample age and sex were not the factors significantly contributing to the trait’s variation, though the age dynamics of this trait needs further consideration using a sample with higher proportion of senile individuals.
... 24(5 1.1%) of cases of spina bifida were diagnosed antenatally and 23(48.9%) of cases of spina bifida were diagnosed postnatally. [5,6,7,8,10]. In our study, 21.3% of spina bifida was minengiocel type, 78.7% with minengiomylocele, and no spina bifida occulta was detected. ...
Background: In babies with spina bifida, a portion of the neural tube doesn't close or develop properly, causing defects in the spinal cord and the bones of the spine, and is associated with lifelong mortalities and morbidities. Objectives: This study aimed to detect the epidemiology and risk factors of spina bifida in soba hospital, Sudan. Material and methods: Forty-seven patients with spina bifida were studied in Pediatric Surgery Unit in Sudan (Soba Hospital) during the period from Sep2011-Jan 2014. Results: The incidence of spina bifida in females was high than in males (59.6%). 51.1% of spina bifida children were diagnosed antenatally and the reminder was diagnosed postnatally. Minengiomylocele was found to be the most common type affecting 78.7% of the cases while meningocele affected 21.3%. Most of the cases were associated with hydrocephalus representing 76.6% and encephalocele affecting 6.4%. Most of the cases were found to be related to irregular folic acid intake during pregnancy and the rest of the mothers take folic after 1st trimester. 19.1% of mothers take medication, the medications do not affect neural tube development. The parents with consanguinity were found to have a high percentage (51.1%) than those with no consanguinity. Conclusion: spina bifida is a serious neurological problem associated with morbidity and mortality. Attention should be taken to pregnant mothers or those intending to become pregnant, including medical advice, especially taking folic acid tablets before pregnancy and during the first three months after pregnancy.
In the course of historical anthropological investigations, we often encounter developmental disorders that affect the processes of the vertebrae. These anomalies are usually described in the anthropological characterization of cemeteries. Some serious changes also appear as case reports, but at the same time, there is very little grouping and organizing work. In our study, we aimed to provide a systematic overview of the developmental abnormalities occurring in the processes of the vertebrae. Underdevelopment and overdevelopment, fusion, duplication, cleft, the foramen appearing on the extension, and the extension separate from the body of the vertebra are described. Some of the disorders presented do not cause serious health problems, while others may be associated with severe pain and may have secondary pathological consequences
