SPINA BIFIDA CLINIC
The
Spina Bifida Clinic at MUSC provides multidisciplinary care
for over 250 children with spina
bifida. The children are followed from birth through age
18. Coordinated by Amy Romanczyk, RN, specialists from pediatric
neurosurgery,
pediatric urology,
developmental pediatrics, pediatric orthopedics,
physical therapy
and orthotics come
together weekly to deal with the complex challenges of spina
bifida in childhood. By providing a single clinic site at which
all specialists are present, the frequency of visits and complexity
of coordinating care are greatly simplified for the patients
and their parents.
The Spina Bifida Clinic meets the first, second and fourth
Tuesday of each month.
