Abstract
Records of 93 cases of anencephaly from three maternity hospitals in Singapore between 1976 and 1980 were analysed. The incidence was 0.54 per 1000 births. No significant correlation between anencephaly and local seasonal conditions could be found for Singapore.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
