Question

Spina bifida is difficult to diagnose because it does not produce obvious physical signs.


True


False

Answer 1

False. While spina bifida can sometimes be diagnosed before birth through prenatal imaging techniques such as ultrasound, it often presents with physical signs that can be detected at birth or in early childhood. These signs can include a visible defect in the spine, signs of neurological impairment, or other symptoms depending on the severity of the condition. Therefore, it is not accurate to say it does not produce obvious physical signs.
