On let us shine the spotlight on children born with spina bifida. This defect results form incomplete closing of spine and its membranes that cover the cord.
When mild- it is inconsequential to the person born with it but when severe may need correction with surgery. The condition is associated with shortage of folate in the blood of the pregnant mother or use of certain medications during pregnancy.
Many times, the defect is associated with excessive accumulation of water in the brain. We advocate for early surgery for those children needing surgery to prevent infection and subsequent decline in function.
Early safe surgery improves function outcomes on these children and allows them to grow to be independent adults.

Today is World AIDS Day and we would like to remind you to either abstain, use protection and PrEP is now an option to prevent infection.
As neurosurgeons, we tend to treat certain conditions associated with HIV and this include common complications of meningitis, which may include lesions or hydrocephalus. Complications of TB affecting the spine and brain as well.
Early diagnosis of HIV and enrolment in an ARV program will assist to limit the chances of development of these conditions.
We want to encourage you to test as knowing your status takes one a long way in preventing these surgical lesions that we see in the context of HIV infected persons.
