Neural Tube Defects: From Origin to Treatment

By Deigo F. Wyszynski

Neural tube defects affect about 4000 pregnancies each year and are thus among the most common of severe birth defects. Prenatal diagnosis can now detect about 70% of neural tube defects but the tests produce many false positives, so the question is under what circumstances should they be
recommended. This comprehensive volume - the collective knowledge of more than 55 experts in the field - provides lucid and authoritative discussions on this topic as well as on a wide variety of theoretical, experimental, and clinical issues.
