Living with spina bifida: neurological and neuropsychological functioning in adults with severely impaired psychosocial adaptation

Background Spina Bifida (SB) is a birth defect caused by incomplete neural tube development, affecting physical, cognitive, and adaptive function. Findings from our previous study indicated that the visual-spatial and executive functions were especially important for psychosocial adaptation in young males. The aim of this study was to describe and examine a group of patients with severely impaired psychosocial adaptation, and to find out if there were gender specific differences with regard to clinical history, neurological and neuropsychological functioning.
