This one's the least common form of spina bifida, and because the spinal cord itself is not damaged, these individuals often do not experience the severe symptoms that are seen in myelomeningocele.

In fact, occulta is latin for hidden, which is appropriate, since many of the normal prenatal tests used to diagnose spina bifida don't catch the disorder, because the deformities in the tissues of the lower back are tiny.

“occulta”在拉丁语就是“隐藏”的意思，顾思义，许多用于诊断脊柱裂的常规产前检查无法发现这种类型，因为其腰部的畸形很小。
