Neural Tube Defects |
|
Text 
|
Neural tube defects refer to structural defects of the nervous system during the developmental process. By about the first month of fetal life, the primitive structure that gives rise to the brain and spinal cord fold upon itself to give rise to a tube-like structure, the neural tube. In some cases, this closure does not occur, and gives rise to neural tube defects. |

Posted on: 11/07/2008 My brother in law is handicap. On his birth, his feet were upside down. With the help of German technology His feet were operated and got better. But today he still can't walk nor talk and gets seizures also. I praise him and admire his will power. May Allah bless all such children and provide them evrything in the hereafter...Ameen! |
