    Extractions: September 3, 1998 - September 4, 1998 We were excited when we found out about Patricia being pregnant again - we had had a miscarriage during a prior pregnancy. We were also in the midst of raising Joshua, a strong willed two year old. Since Joshua was taken via c-section at 37 weeks due to Patricia's toxemia and also because of the miscarriage, Patricia was watched by her doctor very carefully. We were able to agree on names for the baby early - Christopher Thomas or Mary Elizabeth. The baby was due on September 9, 1998. About 18 weeks into the pregnancy, the doctor did an AFP test, and the result came back abnormal. The doctor explained that there are two reasons for this. Either the due date is miscalculated or the baby could have a neural tube defect. She sent us to have an ultrasound to verify the due date. The ultrasound took place on April 15, 1998. I went with Patricia and Joshua, and we looked forward to early glimpses of our baby. Patricia wanted to know the babies sex, but I did not. However, we were not expecting the doctor to inform us that the baby had anencephaly. It was quite a shock. We asked the doctor what to do next. He said that most people terminate the pregnancy, because they consider the baby to be non-viable. However, we knew that there was a life in there, and knew that we should give her every chance to live. When we discussed this with our doctor, she agreed and also arranged for a second ultrasound.

June 2000; http://www.obgyn.net/us/cotm/0006/exencephaly-anencephaly.htm Introduction Anencephaly represents the most common neural tube defect. It’s incidence is approximately 1:1000 with female predominance (4:1) and geographical variability. , as well as observations on ultrasonography combined with amniotic fluid cytology. Ultrasound Findings Reliable sonographic diagnosis of anencephaly is usually possible in early second trimester (10-14wks GA) . Conventional 2D ultrasound is accurate in diagnosing anencephaly and the sensitivity is virtually 100% after 14wks GA . 3D sonography has been shown to be equally effective in detecting anencephaly. On ultrasound, the cranial vault (bony calvarium) is symmetrically absent. Rudimentary brain tissue (area cerebrovasculosa) is covered by a membrane, but not bone (Figure 1,2). This be seen protruding from the base of the skull in the early second trimester, and gradually degenerates until the appearance of the head is completely flattened behind the facial structures. Facial views reveal frog-like appearance with prominent bulging eyeballs (Figure 3,4). Associated polyhydramnios usually develops in the second trimester and is likely due to absent or ineffective fetal swallowing (Figure 3). High degree of fetal activity is often observed.

    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Anencephaly is a "neural tube defect" (a defect occurring early in fetal development that damages the primitive tissue which will become the brain and spinal cord). When the upper portion of the neural tube fails to close, anencephaly results, however, the specific cause is unknown. Findings suggest that it may be related to environmental toxins ; however, no absolute connections have been made. Also, low plasma levels of folic acid have been implicated in contributing to neural tube defects. The incidence may reach 3.6 to 4.6 out of 10,000 births. The exact incidence is unknown, as most of these infants probably spontaneously abort. Risk factors include having a previous pregnancy with anencephaly. Nutrition is thought to play an important part in the development of neural tube defects of which anencephaly is only one. The specific nutrition risk factor is thought to be low serum levels of folic acid.

Possible causes include environmental toxins and low intake of folic acid during pregnancy.

    Extractions: National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Summary Introduction In 1992, the U.S. Public Health Service recommended that women of childbearing age increase consumption of the vitamin folic acid to reduce the number of spina bifida and anencephaly cases in the United States ( ). In 1996, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated that all enriched cereal grain products be fortified with folic acid ( ). An optional period for folic acid cereal grain enrichment started in March 1996, and mandatory fortification began in January 1998. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) documented that these public health actions were effective in increasing folate status among U.S. women of childbearing age from NHANES III (19891994) to NHANES 1999 ( ). In 2001, researchers from CDC determined that the overall birth prevalence of these two neural tube defects declined 19% after mandatory folic acid fortification (

    Extractions: The states of Oregon and Washington currently have Centers for Disease Control Disabilities Prevention Grants. Each grantee selects three focus areas. The Oregon project has chosen prevention of neural tube defects as one of its focus areas. This dovetails nicely with PacNoRGG Prenatal Diagnosis committee projects, which include education of primary care providers about triple marker screening, and folic acid education for couples at increased risk to have a baby with a neural tube defect. Oregon Disabilities Prevention staff have become active PacNoRGG members, and have been especially helpful in both Prenatal Genetics and Data committee projects.

While it is possible to diagnose anencephaly as early as the 10th or 12th week of pregnancy, in clinical practice it is typically diagnosed between 15-18 weeks. Statistics suggest that over 95% of anencephalic neonates will not survive more than a week after birth. Although a few cases have been reported in which anencephalic infants have survived for three or four months, these cases are rare and call the diagnosis itself into question. Regardless, any prolonged survival of the anencephalic infant would require continuous aggressive medical treatment that may be considered disproportionate means . [The Medical Task Force on Anencephaly, "The Infant with Anencephaly," New England Journal of Medicine In the 1950s and 1960s, before the use of ultrasound techniques for monitoring fetal development, the prevalence rates for anencephaly ranged from 1.39 to 1.93 per 1,000 births [D.

    Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Anencephaly. The term 'prevalence' of Anencephaly usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Anencephaly at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Anencephaly refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Anencephaly diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
