While not all spinal cord abnormalities can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk:
Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups and prenatal vitamins, including folic acid, can reduce the risk of congenital abnormalities like spina bifida. Genetic Counseling: For families with a history of spinal cord abnormalities, genetic counseling can provide valuable information and guidance. Safety Measures: Preventing trauma-related abnormalities by ensuring children use appropriate safety equipment and follow safety guidelines.
