BY FLORA LYIMO~ MBUTA NANGA!! JAMANI TUMUOMBEENI HUYU MTOTO 'SO SAD HEBU MUONENI IN PICHA THE SEVEN -MONTH -OLD WAS BORN WITH SPINA BIFIDA!!

Seven-month-old Xiao Wei was born with spina bifida, a condition that causes the spine to become deformed. It is this that has caused the unusual growth at the bottom of his spinal column''

She said: 'We have asked the surgeons to remove the tail but they tell us it is not that simple.'
Spina bifida or 'split spine' is a fault in the development of the spine and spinal cord which leaves a gap in the spine.
The spinal cord is responsible for connecting all parts of the body to the brain.
In the first month of life, a developing baby in the womb grows a structure called the neural tube. It is this that will eventually form the spine and nervous system.
But in cases of spina bifida,  the spinal column  - the bone that surrounds and protects the nerves - does not fully close.
The exact causes are unknown, but several risk factors have been identified, the most significant being a lack of folic acid before and at the very start of pregnancy.
There are a number of different types of spina bifida but Xiao has myelomeningocele, the most serious variant of the condition. It affects one pregnancy in every 1,000 in Britain.

Surgeon Huang Chuanping says that if they operate now the 10 cm long 'tail' it will return unless they repair the spinal canal first''

Spina bifida or 'split spine' is a fault in the development of the spinal cord which leaves a gap in the spine. In Xiao's case the spinal membranes and cord have pushed out to create a sac in the baby¿s back.
