MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 2002
The purpose of this article is to describe the etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) and the role of folic acid in their prevention. NTDs are all too common and devastating outcomes of many pregnancies. The brain and spinal cord malformations that develop during gestation in the NTD-affected pregnancies are expressed through various anomalies ...

Homocysteine and Neural Tube Defects
The Journal of Nutrition, 1996It is now well established that folic acid, when taken periconceptionally, can prevent many neural tube defects. It is also becoming clear that folic acid does not work by correcting a nutritional deficiency in pregnant women. Rather, it appears that a metabolic defect is responsible for these neural tube defects and that this defect or defects can be ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1979
The term "neural tube defects" refers to a biologically interrelated series of malformations of the central nervous system and overlying tissues. There is an abnormality in morphogenesis of the brain and/or spinal cord, associated with varying degrees of absence or malformation of the meninges, bone, muscle, and skin.

Neural tube defects (spina bifida) are congenital anomalies that result from incomplete closure of the neural tube in utero. This chapter discusses the pathophysiology, epidemiology, medical/surgical treatments, and nursing care for patients with open neural tube defects such as myelomeningocele as well as closed neural tube defects.

Neural tube defects in pondicherry
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2005This study was carried out to identify the trend and the frequency of neural tube defects from July 1998 to June 2004.A total of 310 babies were born with neural tube defects with the overall frequency of 5.7/1000 births compared to 2.3/1000 births observed earlier in our hospital.The most common defect was spina bifida (54.8%) followed by anencephaly (

Are Encephaloceles Neural Tube Defects?
Pediatrics, 2006OBJECTIVE. Encephalocele is classified as a neural tube defect, but questions have been raised regarding whether its epidemiological characteristics are similar to those of other neural tube defects.DESIGN. We compared characteristics of temporal trends in, and the impact of folic acid grain fortification on, the prevalence of encephalocele, spina ...
