Extractions: Anencephaly ... What Research is Being Done? What Are Cephalic Disorders? Cephalic disorders are congenital conditions that stem from damage to, or abnormal development of, the budding nervous system. Cephalic is a term that means "head" or "head end of the body." Congenital means the disorder is present at, and usually before, birth. Although there are many congenital developmental disorders, this fact sheet briefly describes only cephalic conditions. Cephalic disorders are not necessarily caused by a single factor, but may be influenced by hereditary or genetic conditions, or by environmental exposures during pregnancy such as medication taken by the mother, maternal infection, or exposure to radiation. Some cephalic disorders occur when the cranial sutures (the fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull) join prematurely. Most cephalic disorders are caused by a disturbance that occurs very early in the development of the fetal nervous system. The human nervous system develops from a small, specialized plate of cells on the surface of the embryo. Early in development, this plate of cells forms the

In a previous study we demonstrated, however, that women carriers of -thalassemia produce themselves during pregnancy an increased number of + NRBC making it difficult to distinguish between fetal and maternal NRBCs. Use of Ab against embryonic hemoglobin may increase specificity for fetal NRBCs. In the present study NRBCs were isolated by MACS from 20ml peripheral blood of 50 pregnant women carriers of thalassemia trait, 27 in the first and 23 in the second trimester of pregnancy. NRBCs were next identified immunocytochemically using anti or anti monoclonal antibodies (MoAb). FISH was performed in 22 cases known to carry male fetuses with X/Y chromosome specific probes. The mean number of NRBCs isolated with anti
Extractions: Overview The term cephalic disorders refers to defects resulting from abnormal development of, or damage to, the brain and spinal cord. Cephalic disorders are present at or before birth. In most cases, the problem occurs early in the development of the fetal nervous system. In other cases, the problem occurs when the fibrous joints connecting the bones of the skull join prematurely. Cephalic disorders may be caused by genetic conditions or by exposure of the mother and developing fetus to infections, toxic substances, medications, or radiation. The severity of these disorders varies greatly. Some cause mild disabilities; others are profound, resulting in total lifelong disability, vastly reduced functional capacity, and sometimes death.
