Incidence of neural tube defects in tertiary care university hospital in Bangladesh
Ismat Jahan, Arif Hossain, Shah Nizam Uddin Shaon, Sadeka Choudhury Moni, Mohammad Kamrul Hassan Shabuj, Sanjoy Kumer Dey, Mohammad Abdul Mannan, Mohammod Shahidullah
Question: What is the burden of neural tube defects (NTDs) in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit in Bangladesh?
Finding: The overall incidence of NTD was 6.4 (range, 4.59–11.2) per 1,000 live births, and the meningomyelocele complex was the most frequent location.
Meaning: The high incidence of NTD found in a leading tertiary care multidisciplinary referral hospital in Bangladesh may not reflect that of the wider population.

Case Report

Eun Kyung Hwang, Kang Ho Cho, Gwang Hoon Lee, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Young Seok Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):538-542.   Published online April 15, 1998
In hydranencephaly, the cerebral hemispheres are absent or represented by membranous sacs with remnants of frontal, temporal or occipital cortex dispersed over the membrane. The brain stem is relatively intact. The cause of hydranencephaly is unknown, but bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries during early fetal development can explain most of the pathologic abnormalities. We evaluated a case of hydranencephaly by magnetic resonance(MR)...

A case of hydranencephalic male, who was delivered in prematurity at Chonnam University Hospital and had lived for 41 days after birth, was presented. The pathologic and anatomical findings were hypoplasia of brain cortex, 3rd and lateral ventricles, atresia of the aqueduct of Sylvius and accumulation of 430ml of yellowish fluid in cranial cavity. No associated congenital anomalies of adrenal...
