Neural tube defects

Neural tube defects

Failure of closure of the neural tube is associated with folate deficiency , family history and some anticonvulsants. Prenatal screening, using serum α -fetoprotein levels and ultrasound, and diagnostic testing, using amniocentesis, are possible. The spectrum of conditions associated with failed closure of the posterior neuropore includes the conditions described below . Neural tube defects
