ABSTRACT

This paper was proposed to address a huge gap in the medical field. The classification of Spinal Dysraphism is extremely needed which will affect the diagnosis, treatment, and communication in medical practice. Having a terrible classification system makes confusion, hard to remember, confuses spine birth defects together, and not practical. Therefore, this paper will have a new taxonomy for spina bifida which will be easy, simple, inclusive for different types of spine defects, and easy to distinguish between each subtype.

Keywords: Spina Bifida, Taxonomy, Spine Defects, Spinal Dysraphism, Neurology.
