Natural brain blights are abnormalities in the brain that are present at birth. There are numerous different types of these blights. They can vary greatly from mild to severe conditions. The brain begins to form in the first month after generality, and will continue to form and develop throughout gestation. Development of the brain begins from a small, special plate of cells on the face of the embryo. These cells grow and form the different regions of the brain. When this process is disturbed or intruded, it can beget structural blights in the brain and cranium. Normal brain function can be bloodied indeed if only the cranium’s growth is worried [1].

Description

Brain development begins shortly after generality and continues throughout the growth of a fetus. A complex inheritable program coordinates the conformation, growth, and migration of billions of neurons, or whim-whams cells, and their development into separate, interacting brain regions. Interruption of this program, especially beforehand in development, can beget structural blights in the brain. In addition, normal brain conformation requires proper development of the girding cranium, and cranium blights may lead to brain contortion. Natural brain blights may be caused by inherited inheritable blights, robotic mutations within the genes of the embryo, or goods on the embryo due to the mama’s infection, trauma, or medicine use [2].

Types of natural brain defects

Several types of natural brain blights are caused by neural tube blights. Beforehand in fetal development, a flat strip of towel along the reverse of the fetus rolls up to form the neural tube. This tube runs along utmost of the length of the embryo. The neural tube generally closes between the third and fourth week after generality. It develops into the spinal cord with the brain at the top. However, the towel within the tube can’t develop duly, if the tube doesn’t close duly [3]. Neural tube blights that can do as a result include

Anencephaly: The head end of the neural tube fails to close, and a major portion of the cranium and brain is missing. The missing portion of the cranium means that brain towel is exposed.

Encephalocele: A portion of the brain bulges through an opening in the cranium. The bulge is frequently located along the front-to- reverse midline at the reverse of the cranium.

Arnold-Chiari or Chiari II: Part of the cerebellum, a region of the brain that affects motor control, is shifted over into the upper spinal column. This causes the brain or spinal cord to come compressed.

Other types of natural brain blights develop within the structure of the brain

Hydrocephalus: Also called fluid on the brain, this is an inordinate build-up of Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) caused by disabled rotation of the CSF. When there’s redundant fluid, it can put too important pressure on the brain.

Dandy- Perambulator pattern this involves the absence or imperfect growth of the central section of the cerebellum.

Holoprosencephaly: The brain doesn’t divide into two halves, or components.

Megalocephaly this condition causes a person’s brain to be abnormally large or heavy.

Microcephaly this occurs when the brain doesn’t develop to full size. The Zika contagion can beget microcephaly.

The symptoms of natural brain blights: Symptoms of natural brain blights vary. Each disfigurement has a distinct set of symptoms and impairments.

Some of these symptoms may not be apparent until after birth when your child exhibits experimental or growth detainments [4]. Some natural brain blights don’t have symptoms until majority. Some no way have symptoms at all.

Children born with natural brain blights also may have

• Cardiovascular diseases
• Gastrointestinal blights
• Split lip and palate
• Seizures
• Head pain
• Muscle weakness
• Reduced vision 
• Bladder and bowel problems

The cause’s natural brain defects

Utmost natural brain blights can’t be attributed to a specific cause. A variety of inheritable and environmental factors have been linked to the development of natural brain blights. These factors may be related to

• Gene blights
• Infection
• Medicine use
• Other trauma to an future fetus

Some brain blights are symptoms of trisomy. Trisomy occurs when a third chromosome is present where generally there are only two chromosomes [5].

Dandy-Walker pattern and Chiari II blights are associated with trisomy of chromosome 9. Trisomy of chromosome 13 can beget holoprosencephaly and microcephaly. Symptoms of trisomy of chromosomes 13 and 18 can include neural tube blights.
