About this document
Understanding Neural Tube Defects by Benjamin Agbonze is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses congenital anomalies caused by disorders of neuralation during early pregnancy. It focuses on open neural tube defects (ONTDs) that occur when the neural tube fails to close properly during development of the brain and spinal cord.
