A member asked:
Is it a neural tube defect if your sacral dimple is bottomless?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the dimple is deep and not skin covered at the deepest level than spina bidida or other defects may be present. Imaging studies such as ultrasound or spine films may be required.
