What is 1.Neural tube defect

Neural tube defects are birth defects of the brain, spine, or spinal cord. It happen in the first month of pregnancy, often before a woman even knows that she is pregnant.
The two most common neural tube defects are spina bifida and anencephaly.
In spina bifida, the fetal spinal column doesn't close completely. There is usually nerve damage that causes at least some paralysis of the legs.

In anencephaly, most of the brain and skull do not develop. Babies with anencephaly are usually either stillborn or die shortly after birth.

Another type of defect, Chiari malformation, causes the brain tissue to extend into the spinal canal.The exact causes of neural tube defects aren't known.

You're at greater risk of having an infant with a neural tube defect if you Have obesity, Have poorly controlled, diabetes, Take certain antiseizure medicines.

Getting enough folic acid, a type of B vitamin, before and during pregnancy prevents most neural tube defects.
