Is spina bifida caused by spinal cord injury or chromosomal disorder?

My text says injury, but also states the damage comes from imperfect development of the spinal cord and spinal column during the first 30 days of fetal development. So, should I put spinal cord injury or chromosomal disorder?

Answers:
The link below will help you.
Personally I would not class it as injury, its more of incomplete development. Again personally I would go for chromosomal disorder but I'm not 100% sure of that. The link might help...I havnt read all of it.
chromosomal disorder, trust me. It has nothing to do with an injury.
It is caused by a lack of folic acid when the mother is pregnant.
A Chromosonal Disorder you should probably go get that checked out
Chromosomal disorder.
WELL..I.didn't get it from spinal injury, I've had it sixty(60) years, definitely a chromosonal thing...LATER
neither it'sa birth defect
It's caused by chromosonal disorder in fetal developement. Injury is an entirely different matter.
What causes Spina bifida?
Causes: Spina bifida: Incomplete fetal development of brain and spinal cord during pregnancy called a neural tube defect.


Here are several links that may help you understand it, none of them say that it can be caused by an accident. They all indicate that it is cause during pregnancy.
Kristi is right, it is a defect caused by factors affecting pregnancy. If a text book says caused by injury, don't trust it for anything it says.
