Scope note: Malformaciones congénitas del sistema nervioso central y de las estructuras adyacentes relacionadas con defectos del cierre del tubo neural durante el primer trimestre del embarazo. Se producen generalmente entre los días 18-29 de la gestación. Las malformaciones ectodérmicas y mesodérmicas (que afectan fundamentalmente al cráneo y las vértebras) pueden ocurrir como resultado de los defectos del cierre del tubo neural.

Scope note: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp31-41)
