Hello,

It could be a congenital anomaly like spina bifida or other related problem. Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required including an MRI scan. Surgical correction may be needed in certain cases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
