Prevalence of anencephaly associated anomalies
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Defective closure of rostral pore of neural tube leads to anencephaly Folic acid deficiency is most common cause anencephaly In most of the cases of Anencephaly is associated with other systemic anomaliesObjectives Aim of present study was to find out the incidence of anencephaly associated systemic anomalies and their correlation with maternal age sex of the foetusMaterials and Methods 32 anencephaly foetuses obtained from the Department of obstetrics and gynaecology Navodaya Medical College The period of study was from January 2013 to December 2016Results Out of 32 cases 257812 cases showed presence of systemic anomalies associated with anencephaly 5312 of the cases were observed in primigravida Most common associated anomaly was spinabifida 2812 followed by gastrointestinal anomalies 625Conclusion Incidence of anencephaly associated anomalies is not uncommon hence gross systemic examination of the anencephalic abortus is required to find out incidence of anencephaly associated anomaliesKeywords Anencephaly Craniospinal rachinoschisis Exomphalos Spina bifida
