RESUMO
Information was collected on 2,197 stillbirths and neonatal deaths on the island of Jamaica during a 12 month period September 1986 to August 1987 as part of the population based nationwide Jamaican Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality Survey. There were 14 cases of anencephalus giving an incidence of 0.26 per 1000 total births. There was no detectable association with social class, maternal age or parity. The rate in Jamaica is considerably lower than found in any other population study.
