Data from the Glasgow Register of Congenital Anomalies were used to compare the recent prevalence of primary hydrocephalus with that of anencephalus and spina bifida. Between 1974 and 1985, the prevalence rates of all three conditions declined significantly and virtually in parallel, a phenomenon suggestive of a common aetiology.
来自格拉斯哥先天性异常登记处的数据被用于比较原发性脑积水与无脑儿和脊柱裂的近期患病率。在1974年至1985年期间,这三种疾病的患病率均显著下降,且几乎呈平行下降趋势,这一现象提示存在共同的病因。
