• The weakness of the muscle eventually causes paralysis.
• Multiple sclerosis of arteries.
• Spina Bifida – A medical condition in which the spinal vertebra unable to maintain the curvature of the spine due to abnormal knots of nerves and arteries on the spine.
• Nerve Injury – It can appear after accidents, instrumental delivery of the child.
