The incidence of neural tube defects (NTD) was 2.12 per 1000 births and that of anencephaly was 1.29 per 1000 births when we reviewed the 40,997 consecutive births between 1981 and 1986 in the major maternity hospital in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. There was a significant increase in the incidences of NTD and anencephaly after 1986 to 4.39 and 2.46 per 1000 births respectively (P less than 0.0001; P less than 0.005). Although this might be a coincidence, it may be due to the nuclear contamination of the region following the Chernobyl accident.
当我们回顾1981年至1986年土耳其黑海东部地区主要妇产医院连续出生的40997例婴儿时，神经管缺陷（NTD）的发病率为每1000例出生中有2.12例，无脑儿的发病率为每1000例出生中有1.29例。1986年之后，NTD和无脑儿的发病率显著上升，分别达到每1000例出生中有4.39例和2.46例（P<0.0001；P<0.005）。尽管这可能是巧合，但也可能是切尔诺贝利事故后该地区受到核污染所致。
