A member asked:
Can a spinal tap cause spina bifida?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: When was the spinal tap done? In utero? Later in life? It is unlikely. Spina bifida is usually the result of a cellular migration disorder and not from a spinal tap.

Congenital: Spina bifida is something you are born with, not something that is acquired.
