“…As opposed to Patten (I 953), who regarded the fundamental error as a localised overgrowth of neural plate tissue, Hsu and van Dyke (1948) and Gallera (1951) concluded from their experimental work that retardation of the normal elongation of the chorda-mesodermal tissue preceded myelocele formation. Giroud (1960) thought that failure of closure of the neural tube was secondary to inhibition of longitudinal growth of the notochord. He cited the stunting of the base of the anencephalic human and rat skull in support of this theory.…”

“…These official data precluded any direct investigation of infections (Coffey andJessop 1959, Klemetti 1967), or dietetic (Giroud 1960, Pitt and Samson 1961, Richards 1969 or genetic (Carter et al 1968, Yen and MacMahon 1968, Nance 1969) factors which may be aetiologically important in anencephalus. This study examined the hypothesis that the geographical variations in incidence throughout the British Isles were due to regional parity and maternal age differences between the birth populations at risk.…”

“…This early separation of the optic vesicles from the neural plate and their independent blood supply probably accounts for the normal eye development of anencephalics (Barsky and Bebin 1967). Furthermore, in rats and mice, anencephaly can be induced in the gastrula stage and not later than ten days (Giroud 1960); this corresponds to about the sixteenth to the twenty-sixth day of human development. Studies of approximately 40 anencephalic embryos less than 25mm long, the smallest being 2*8mm, suggest that non-closure of the neural tube may be the mechanism in anencephaly (Dodds and DeAngelis 1937, Ford 1956, Dekaban 1963.…”
