Abstract

The main objective of this particular case report is to create awareness among the people about the importance of folic acid intake, not only during pregnancy but even before it. As anencephaly could be prevented but not cured, hence a small step such as eating food rich in folic acid, along with folic acid supplementation can prevent many from this dreadful ill-fated disorder and the mothers from the emotional turmoil.
