Spina bifida and tethered spinal cord are congenital diseases that can lead to severe disability. At present, most doctors in relevant specialties in China still have insufficient understanding of spina bifida, resulting in high incidence and aggravation of its complications. To provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida and tethered spinal cord in China, experts from neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, spine surgery, and rehabilitation departments who have experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida discussed and summarized their experiences, and referred to the relevant literature on the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida at home and abroad. Expert consensus was formed in the following aspects: concept, classification, and pathological changes of spina bifida; diagnosis; treatment process and operation timing; principles and methods of treatment; rehabilitation; and follow up. This expert consensus can provide reference for relevant care providers of spina bifida in China.
