ABSTRACT
In a retrospective study of congenital abnormalities from January, 1991 to December, 1993 in Durgapur Steel Plant Hospital, a referral hospital covering wide industrial belt, the incidence of neural tube defects was detected remarkably high. It was revealed that increased incidence of neural tube defects was found in patients from low socio-economic status with gross nutritional deficiency and inadequate antenatal care.
