A member asked:
I have a high positive for increased open neural tube defect, now what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Additional screening: A positive initial screening test should be followed by a more involved and dependable test looking for this possibility.A diagnostic high resolution ultrasound can be performed that can evaluate baby from top to bottom and see if there is any direct evidence of a problem. Discussion of these findings with a geneticist or perinatologist may then be needed if the problem is not excluded by the test.
