Abstract

Fetal and newborn mortality are causes of concern when it comes to neural tube abnormalities. The exact cause of neural tube abnormalities is still not fully understood; however, it involves both hereditary and environmental variables. Antenatal diagnosis, multivitamin supplementation, and folic acid supplementation have all contributed to a drop in the prevalence of neural tube abnormalities in the past 30 years, yet some of the decrease remains unexplained.
