Anencephaly

I-Anencephaly ukungabikho kwengxenye enkulu yobuchopho nogebhezi.

I-Anencephaly ingenye yezinkinga ezivame kakhulu ze-neural tube. Iziphambeko ze-Neural tube ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa okuthinta izicubu eziba umgogodla nobuchopho.

I-Anencephaly yenzeka ekuqaleni kokukhula kwengane engakazalwa. Kuba lapho ingxenye ephezulu yethubhu ye-neural ihluleka ukuvalwa. Imbangela ngqo ayikaziwa. Izimbangela ezingaba khona zifaka:

• Ubuthi bezemvelo
• Ukudla okuphansi kwe-folic acid ngumama ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa

Inani eliqondile lamacala we-anencephaly alaziwa. Eziningi zalezi zikhulelwa zibangela ukukhulelwa kwesisu. Ukuba nosana olulodwa olunalesi simo kwandisa ingozi yokuba nomunye umntwana onamaphutha we-neural tube.

Izimpawu ze-anencephaly yilezi:

• Ukungabi khona kogebhezi
• Ukungabikho kwezingxenye zobuchopho
• Ukungajwayelekile kwesici sobuso
• Ukubambezeleka okukhulu kwentuthuko

Ukukhubazeka kwenhliziyo kungaba khona ezimeni ezi-1 kwezingu-5.

I-ultrasound ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa yenziwa ukuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa. I-ultrasound ingadalula uketshezi oluningi esibelethweni. Lesi simo sibizwa ngokuthi ama-polyhydramnios.

Umama angabuye abe nalezi zivivinyo ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa:

• I-Amniocentesis (ukufuna amazinga andisiwe e-alpha-fetoprotein)
• Izinga le-Alpha-fetoprotein (amazinga akhuphukile asikisela iphutha le-neural tube)
• Izinga le-urine estriol

Ukuhlolwa kwangaphambi kokukhulelwa kwe-serum folic acid nakho kungenziwa.

Akukho ukwelashwa kwamanje. Khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngezinqumo zokunakekelwa.

Lesi simo sivame ukudala ukufa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuzalwa.

Umhlinzeki uvame ukuthola lesi simo ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwangaphambi kokubeletha kanye ne-ultrasound. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kuyaziwa lapho kuzalwa.

Uma kutholakala i-anencephaly ngaphambi kokuzalwa, kuzodingeka ukwelulekwa okuqhubekayo.

Kunobufakazi obuhle bokuthi i-folic acid ingasiza ekwehliseni ubungozi bokukhubazeka okuthile kokuzalwa, kufaka phakathi i-anencephaly. Abesifazane abakhulelwe noma abahlela ukukhulelwa kufanele bathathe i-multivitamin ene-folic acid nsuku zonke. Ukudla okuningi manje kuqiniswe nge-folic acid ukusiza ukuvimbela lezi zinhlobo zokukhubazeka kokuzalwa.

Ukuthola i-folic acid eyanele kunganciphisa amathuba okukhubazeka kwamathambo e-neural ngesigamu.

I-Aprosencephaly ene-cranium evulekile

• I-Ultrasound, umbungu ovamile - ama-ventricles obuchopho
