About this trial

Spinal dysraphism consist of congenital malformations resulting of abnormalities in the formation of neural tube and/or surrounding structures during embryogenesis. The aim of this study is to assess if there are specific clinical and paraclinical patterns of pelvic (urinary, bowel, sexual) disorders depending on the dysraphism's type and level of injury.

This description will help to determine a prognosis on symptoms and the risk of complication depending on the dysraphism's type and level of injury. It will provide targeted evaluation and cares: identifying patients who will be at risk of complications and needing acute monitoring or preventing cares on the symptoms' onset.

Pelvic disorders have an important impact on morbi-mortality (urinary dysfunction is the first cause of mortality in adults by renal failure or infection) and also on patients' quality of life.
