Neural crest derivatives and neuroendocrine cells in the gut of anencephalic and fetuses without congenital defects

Abstract: Background The enteric nervous system (ENS), a component of the peripheral nervous system in the intestinal walls, regulates motility, secretion, absorption, and blood flow. Neural crest (NC) migration, fundamental for ENS development, may be altered by central nervous system development alterations, such as neural tube defects (NTD). Intestinal innervation anomalies have been correlated to NTD. We aim to describe the ENS on a fetus with NTD and fetuses without congenital defects (FWCD). Cases Two male and fou… Show more
