WVU Medicine Children's Spina Bifida Clinic

The WVU Medicine Children’s Center for Spina Bifida serves children with spina bifida, myelomeningocele, and other forms of myelodysplasia as well as related congenital conditions, such as Chiari malformation, tethered spinal cord syndrome, and associated hydrocephalus. We also treat children with other complex spinal birth defects, such as caudal regression syndrome, sacral dysgenesis, and congenital spinal masses, including lipomas, dermoids, and dermal sinus tracts.

Our mission and passion is to help children with spina bifida and related conditions lead healthy and satisfying lives. Treatments focus on complications that arise from the condition and can include surgery, medicines, and physical therapy.
