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.

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 ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2004
Defects of development of the neural tube can result in a number of seemingly different malformations. Understanding the abnormal embryology helps one understand the malformations and their surgical treatments. The clinical presentations and the follow-up of these patients require attention to various end organs besides the nervous system.

The prevention of neural tube defects
Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1998The prevention of neural tube defects is a complex problem. The genetic associations may ultimately allow the prepregnancy identification of women at high risk of a neural tube defect. Education of both the public and healthcare providers has been shown to increase awareness, but the majority of women do not take folic acid before and in the early part

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital malformations of the central nervous system and axial skeleton that range from the fatal to the asymptomatic. NTDs can be classified according to the embryonic event that is disturbed, and can result from a variety of genetic defects and environmental influences. Understanding the genetic and embryonic basis of

Genetics of neural tube defects
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2001Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common congenital malformations that occur when the embryonic neural tube fails to close properly during early development. Although multifactorial in origin, NTDs appear to have a strong genetic component. Mouse NTD mutants provide useful models for the study of candidate genes involved in neural tube development and ...

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 ...

Neural tube defects in the Sikhs
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1983AbstractBackground information on the incidence of neural tube defects (NTD) in Sikhs in India and elsewhere is given. The incidence of NTD in the Sikh population of British Columbia is estimated for 4 years and found to be 2.86 per 1,000 births. The overall rate for NTD in all B.C. births for these same years is 1.26 per 1,000 births.

Epidemiology of neural tube defects
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, 2005AbstractThe epidemiological investigation of the common open neural tube defects (NTDs), anencephaly, and spina bifida, has a long history. The most significant finding from these past studies of NTDs was the identification of the protective effect of maternal, periconceptional supplementation with folic acid.
