Shocked that the Commissioner couldn't tell the signs of Anencephaly and called the baby a "creature"! i thought that he was in a better position to enlighten the public instead of contributing to the sense of mystery surrounding the child. Only God knows the kind of accusations the mother will face; witchcraft, infidelity, badluck, curse, all sorts of broken taboo! Anencephaly is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the cephalic (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp.[1] Children with this disorder are born without a forebrain, the largest part of the brain consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres (which include the neocortex, which is responsible for higher-level cognition, i.e., thinking). The remaining brain tissue is often exposed—not covered by bone or skin.[2] Most babies with this genetic disorder do not survive birth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anencephaly

its obvious the woman wasnt praying during pregnancy. |
Re: Woman Gives Birth To Strange-Looking Baby After 13 Months (Pics) by tpia5: 8:58pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
more like she wasnt taking folic acid and like the commissioner said, hope she didnt ingest some strange concoction in the name of herbs. |

I'm still surprised a health commissioner didn't know this - saying "strange baby" like a kindergarten. Who knows how many more health commissioners in the country are like this one. |

kosoro: ^^sometimes people have to look things up especially during strange rare occurences like this one. doesnt mean the health commissioner doesnt know his stuff. Sicherheit: usually, a healthy diet will supply all the nutrients a pregnant woman needs. The nigerian diet is very good in this regard, as long as the woman has enough to eat. We consume a lot of green leafy vegetables, liver and beans- all major sources of folates [for folic acid]. However, prenatal care will also provide nutritional supplements just to make sure all bases are covered. |

Plumkin: Not this way. This picture unaccompanied by the advice of a medical professional teaches no lesson! |

Like some people have said, this defect is well-known and a simple wikipedia or even google search will lead you to NEURAL TUBE DEFECT.This specific disorder is known as Anencephaly Disorder. Nigerian doctors need to use this as yet another medical lesson. They shouldn't look at it as something strange and ignore it. Wikipedia even gives some ideas of preventative measures that can be taken before a woman conceives: i.e. 0.4mg/day of folic acid or the doctor may recommend 4mg/day for a woman who has given birth to a child with neural tube defect in the past. I mean they even provided an image of what to look for in an ultrasound. We really need to move forward and look for opportunities to learn and gain knowledge. I mean even the health commissioner should be curious about it and look it up. Im sure he/she has access to the internet. Sincerely, although i have heard of spina bifida (a form of neural tube defect) i have not heard of Anencephaly Disorders till today i.e. i learnt something new today and i think being a doctor means a lifetime of learning about the human body. Infact, every human should have a lifetime filled with learning opportunities, make use of them! |
Re: Woman Gives Birth To Strange-Looking Baby After 13 Months (Pics) by Nobody: 9:55pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
Anencephaly, caused by poor intake of folic acid before and early in pregnancy. it shud have been detected with ultrasound and termination offered as a choice early in pregnancy. i saw one during my internship

Re: Woman Gives Birth To Strange-Looking Baby After 13 Months (Pics) by strangest(m): 10:27pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
Seriously a lot of people on nairaland were born without brains, you think folic acid is also the cause |

The health commissioner should be sacked. He cheated his was through school. What a way to inform the public about the birth of a naturally deformed baby as if the mama commit abomination. If only he read those text books in school or is smart enough to enlighten himself some more in his field after school, he would have known what caused the baby to be born looking like that and seize the opportunity to advise the public on how to avoid such happening to their children in future if it can be prevented. |
Re: Woman Gives Birth To Strange-Looking Baby After 13 Months (Pics) by DisGuy: 1:40am On Aug 16, 2011 |
hannydarl: Totally agree with you!! he didnt even talk about offering the woman counselling, he is blabbing on about 'to avoid embarrassment' |

Well, blank, that was an interesting reply. Show me one confirmed case of a 13 month pregnancy. One. Confirmed means with the medical reports, not newpaper report, of course. Until you can, I'll continue to call this report a heartless fraud. |
Re: Woman Gives Birth To Strange-Looking Baby After 13 Months (Pics) by hannydarl(f): 9:19am On Aug 16, 2011 |
lepasharon: cos. Pastor said its her enemy that tied the baby in the spirit with banana skin and that she should trust God alone and not seek medical help not to take doctors advice and go for c section (thats a big no no in nigeria if you as a doctor sugest it eh you go hear holly ghost fire, back to sender eiii call daddy general overseer)for me oh let the prayer worriors start praying I shall deliver like hebrew wome. I no know who tell them say hebrew women no get pregnancy complication in those days.) Pastor will now ask her to wait untill kingdom come that labour will start and she will delivet twins. I have seen with my own eyes this scene play itself out twice in owerri and both women lost their babies cos pastor prophesied rubish to them not to go to the hospital but wait on God. |

hbrednic:Lets imagine the baby had brain and could have survived through some medical magic. Would you advice the parent to go ahead and nurture? And pls dont blame the commissioner, he was trained to handled medical emergency and not speech giving. Maybe he even address the press in his native tongue and they direct-translate. But damn the baby has teeth already Z-ugly |
