What is Spina Bifida?
Spina bifida occurs early in pregnancy and causes damage to the spinal cord and nerves which may result in paralysis below the level of the fault. Many people with spina bifida also have hydrocephalus.

What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is caused by a build up of fluid in the ventricles of the brain. It can occur in premature babies, after meningitis, a head injury, a stroke or in association with spina bifida.
Hydrocephalus can lead to problems with concentration, reasoning and short term memory. Some people will have difficulties with co-ordination, motivation, and organisational skills.
