Resumen:

Neural-tube defects (NTDs) include a group of congenital malformations that mainly affect the structure of the central nervous system (CNS). This chapter describes the main entities that comprise NTDs, provides populationbased statistics, presents advances in the elucidation of their etiology, and discusses associated risk factors. © Oxford University Press, 2013.
