A member asked:
Sacral dimple could i have spina bifida, how to know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't worry: If you are 43 years old and have not had trouble with it at this point, I would not worry about it. All that being said, an MRI is the test of choice to evaluate the spinal cord and neural canal.
