Congenital Spinal Abnormalities

Congenital spinal abnormalities are birth defects that affect the normal development of the spine and spinal cord. These conditions may interfere with movement, sensation, bladder and bowel function, and overall neurological development if left untreated. They include a range of disorders such as spinal dysraphism, spina bifida, tethered cord syndrome, and other congenital spinal malformations. Dr. Abhishek Nadkarni provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced pediatric neurosurgical care to ensure the best possible outcomes for every child.
