Este defeito ocorre devido a um não fechamento da extremidade anterior do sulco neural. Este trabalho, que tem como objetivo estudar a freqüência, a etiologia e os fatores predisponentes desta malformação, é um estudo de caso-controle de base populacional que abrange todos os nascimentos ocorridos nas cinco maternidades da cidade de Pelotas, durante o período de 1º de… Show more

“…In Brazil there are approximately 18 cases out of every 10,000 children born alive, which represents a rate up to 50 times higher than that observed in countries such as France, Belgium, Austria and the United States 14 . The occurrence of anencephaly is higher in female fetuses 6 and in those generated by women above the age of 35, although studies show no relationship between the age of the mother and the occurrence of anencephaly 15 . In addition, the risk of incidence increases in 5% for each subsequent pregnancy 16 .…”
