“…Preliminary investigation has been carried out in relation to central nervous system and eye defects in eighteen of the EUROCAT registries, sixteen of which had participated in the study of chromosomal anomalies.27 Eye defects were included as cataracts and other eye defects have been reported in humans and animals following in utero radiation. 28 Rates of neural tube defects, arhinencephaly, microcephalus and brain reduction, hydrocephalus, anophthalmos and microphthalmos, and congenital cataract in which the period when the anomaly was initiated would have been in (a) May-June 1986 and (b) May-August 1986 were compared with those for the period 1980-1985. Cases with malformations occumng as part of autosomal or single gene syndromes were excluded.…”

Studies of the association between the Chernobyl accident in April 1986 and reproductive outcome, with particular reference to congenital anomalies, are reviewed. All of the studies so far have been based on the detection of a change in frequency over time. An increased frequency of trisomy 21 in the former West Berlin in January 1987, and increases in the frequency of neural tube defects in several small hospital-based series in Turkey, are not confirmed in larger and more representative series in Europe. No clear changes in the prevalence at birth of anomalies which might be associated with the accident are apparent in Byelorussia or the Ukraine, the republics with the highest exposure to fallout. However, these data are difficult to interpret as the methods of acquisition have not been described and they have not yet been reported in full. Thus, there is no consistent evidence of a detrimental physical effect of the Chernobyl accident on congenital anomalies. This is also the case for other measured outcomes of pregnancy. There is evidence of indirect effects--an increase in induced abortions substantial enough to show as a reduction in total births, due to anxieties created. Data are not available on the reproductive outcomes of women pregnant at the time of the accident who were evacuated from the 30 km zone of immediate contamination, of workers in the plant at the time of the accident or of decontamination workers. Moreover, no data are available from several of the other countries closest to the Chernobyl area.

“…In a recent review, Brunst [1965] states: 'How the replacement occurs following local irradiation of the tail is clear, but how it occurs in the tail following irradiation of the whole body exclusive of the head is not at all clear. '…”
