Default Is spina bifida caused by spinal cord injury or chromosomal disorder? - 12-28-2008, 03:47 PM

My text says injury, but also states the damage comes from imperfect development of the spinal cord and spinal column during the first 30 days of fetal development. So, should I put spinal cord injury or chromosomal disorder?

chromosomal disorder, trust me. It has nothing to do with an injury.

It is caused by a lack of folic acid when the mother is pregnant.
