“…15% mothers got consanguinity, all were first cousins & 85% were unrelated which was similar in few studies 9,10,11 The rate of anencephaly could be higher in underdeveloped countries due to possible misdiagnosis, most probably due to poor diet; improper maternal health care, inappropriate treatment & environmental factors also contribute to it 9 . The ratio of anencephaly is higher in Iranian population than compared to European population.…”

Introduction: Anencephaly is a common & lethal neural tube defect (NTD) which occurs due to the defective closure of rostral pore of neural tube. The study aims to identify the risk factors associated with anencephaly in our population. Attempt was made to correlate the incidence of anencephaly with associated systemic and congenital anomalies, maternal factors, biochemical analysis of mother for ACE, alpha fetoprotein, folic acid & random blood sugar. Material & Method: The present study included 60 anencephalic fetuses of 20-30 weeks & mothers of the fetuses from Victoria & Vani Vilas hospital attached to Bangalore Medical College & Research Institute. Study was conducted over a time period of 3 years from August 2014 to June 2017. Results: The incidence of anencephaly in Victoria and Vanivilas hospital was 1.04 in 1000 births. 23 (38.4%) were males & 37(61.6%) were females. The alpha fetoprotein is high in 100% of cases & ACE level was normal in 85 % cases, in 1.6% it was high & in 13.4% cases it was low. In 15%, folic acid was low & 15% cases were hyperglycemic. Conclusion: Better knowledge of unexpected fetal loss is the promise for better parental counseling & for prevention of recurrences. Understanding & identifying the risk factors associated with anencephaly in our population, allows approaches to avoid them & there by lower the incidence of anencephaly in our population.

“…The most common nonneoplastic epithelial cysts of the CNS in surgical series are epidermoid cyst, arachnoid cyst, and colloid cyst, although their proportions vary between published studies. [2][3][4][5][6][7] The majority of them are developmental in nature and are best categorized based on their origin.…”

Nonneoplastic and noninfective cysts of the central nervous system: A histopathological study

et al. 2022

Nonneoplastic epithelial cysts involving the central nervous system are diverse and are predominantly developmental in origin. This study represents a surgical series describing the histopathological features of 507 such epithelial cysts with clinical and imaging correlation. Age at surgery ranged from 7 months to 72 years (mean: 33 years) affecting 246 male and 261 female patients. Colloid cyst was the most frequently resected cyst, followed by epidermoid cyst, arachnoid cyst, Rathke cleft cyst, dermoid cyst, neurenteric cyst, Tarlov cyst, and choroid plexus cyst. Diagnosis was based on the location of the cysts and the nature of the lining epithelium. Rathke cleft cyst showed the highest propensity for squamous metaplasia, significant inflammation, and xanthogranulomatous reaction. Ulceration of lining epithelium and calcification were most frequent in dermoid cyst. Radiopathological concordance was maximal for colloid cyst, followed by epidermoid and arachnoid cysts. Epidermoid and dermoid cysts exhibited the highest propensity for local tumor progression, followed by Rathke cleft cyst.
