A study of the epidemiology of neural tube defects in the Liverpool and Bootle areas between 1961 and 1979 showed a decline from 1974 onwards. This trend was highly significant and was more marked for anencephaly than for spina bifida. From 1977 to 1979, seventeen pregnancies were terminated for neural tube defects, but this number was too small to have an appreciable effect on incidence. No single factor can be implicated to explain this observation.
