ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> The occurrence of congenital anomalies is increasing in the present era. The incidence is estimated to be 3-7% of the congenital disorders.<\/p>\n

Aim:<\/strong> The present study is focused on the spina bifida and to know the incidence of spinal defects in north Indian population. This study will be helpful for providing baseline data from the north Indian population.<\/p>\n

Methodology: <\/strong>The present study was done on 1400 fetuses which were sent by gynecology and obstetrics department of GMCH Sec. 32, Chandigarh to anatomy department for autopsy purpose during period of 2008 to 2017. In every case, location and morphology of spinal defects were observed.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> The present study showed 11.7% cases with spinal defects, out of these, 1.2%\u00a0 spina bifida closed (occulta) and 10.5% spina bifida open defects were \u00a0noted\u00a0 which included 1.2% ventral spinal defects, 31.7%\u00a0 with \u00a0meningocele, 24.3%\u00a0 myelomeningocele, 28.6% myelocele and 12.8% with rachischisis.<\/p>\n

Conclusions: <\/strong>It is important to note the detection of congenital anomalies in early stage of gestation. It is advantageous for the obstetrician in planning the line of management whether to continue the pregnancy or not.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Congenital Anomalies, Spinal defects, Meningocele, Myelomeningocele, Myelocele, Rachischisis.<\/p>\n
