Abstract
Neural tube defect(NTDs) is birth defect of spine, brain or spinal cord. It occurs within first month of pregnancy in developing fetuses. About 10% of infant death worldwide is due to nervous system related cases. NTDs are associated with folic acid deficiency before and during pregnancy. Even if there is extensive information worldwide, the data in our country is limited.
