[Contribution of amniocentesis to prenatal screening of neural tube closing defects: evaluation of 10 years of a center's experience].
The authors report retrospective data on analysis of amniotic fluid DFTN markers (AFP and AChE) from 306 cases. Data were obtained from 261 amniocentesis done because there was a recurrence risk of DFTN and from 45 amniocentesis done because an anomaly as DFTN was diagnosed with ultrasonography. Results first show that the risk of recurrence is 3.03% in Rhône-Alpes area. In utero exposure to valproate appears as new indication for amniocentesis, in view of the possible association between Spina-Bifida and prenatal-valproate exposure (1/8 in the study). In contrast to anencephaly, Spina Bifida can be difficult to diagnose with ultrasonography before 20 weeks and require amniocentesis with AFP and AChE study.
