  • Title: Neural tube defects at separate sites: further evidence in support of multi-site closure of the neural tube in humans.
    Author: Ahmad FU, Mahapatra AK.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 2009 Mar; 71(3):353-6. PubMed ID: 18255125.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The presence of MMC at multiple sites or their association with encephalocele is a very rare event. Only few cases of multiple NTDs have been described in world literature in the form of isolated case reports. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report 4 cases of multiple NTDs. We also review the theories of etiopathogenesis of multiple NTDs. CONCLUSION: The multiple-site closure of NT theory is most useful in describing the occurrence of multiple NTDs in our cases.
