Omphalocele is frequently associated with other congenital malformations or a chromosome abnormality. Previously published series of omphalocele have emphasized the association of congenital heart defects or chromosomal abnormalities. We present five cases of omphalocele with a concurrent neural tub
The paper describes associated malformations in infants born with neural tube defects (N ฯญ 3,809) from three large malformation registers and in fetuses aborted because of a diagnosed neural tube defect (N ฯญ 748) from two of the registers. In infants, upper spina bifida and encephalocele are more of
While folate supplementation reduces the risk of recurrent neural-tube defects (NTD), both folate and cobalamin deficiencies may be independent risk-factors for neural-tube defects. Folate-dependence and impaired remethylation of homocysteine are implicated as mechanisms for NTD. There are few refer
