E-Mail:mdshilpi@gmail.com Objective: The study was undertaken to determine the proportion and pattern of Neural Tube Defects (NTD) reported at tertiary care teaching hospital in Gurugram. The incidence of NTDs were determined and compared with other studies done in India and other countries. Material and methods: The study was carried out in SGT Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Gurugram. The total number of deliveries was recorded from 20172019.The aborted fetuses with NTDs were observed in detail externally for the sex, type of NTD and other associated anomalies after obtaining ethical clearance and written informed consent of the parents. Results: The number of deliveries conducted between 2017-2019 at SGT Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Gurugram was 2500. There were 8 babies born with NTDs (5 female and 4 male). Overall incidence of NTDs in the present study was 3.2/1000 births with female preponderance. The incidence of fetuses with anencephaly, myelocele, meningomyelocele, craniorachischisis and encephalocele were 0.8, 1.2, 0.4, 0.4, and 0.4 per 1000 births respectively. Conclusion: Birth defects like Neural Tube Defects are easily detected by routine screening tests like USG in first and second trimester of pregnancy. Public health measures like preconception folic acid supplements and increasing awareness about maternal care during pregnancy needs to be highlighted to decrease the incidence of congenital anomalies and their comorbidities.
