The enteric nervous system (ENS), a component of the peripheral nervous system in the intestinal walls, regulates motility, secretion, absorption, and blood flow. Neural crest (NC) migration, fundamental for ENS development, may be altered by central nervous system development alterations, such as neural tube defects (NTD). Intestinal innervation anomalies have been correlated to NTD. We aim to describe the ENS on a fetus with NTD and fetuses without congenital defects (FWCD).

无先天性缺陷的无脑和胎儿肠道中的神经嵴衍生物和神经内分泌细胞。

肠神经系统 (ENS) 是肠壁周围神经系统的一个组成部分，调节运动、分泌、吸收和血流。神经嵴 (NC) 迁移是 ENS 发育的基础，可能会因中枢神经系统发育变化而改变，例如神经管缺陷 (NTD)。肠道神经支配异常与 NTD 相关。我们的目标是描述 NTD 胎儿和无先天性缺陷 (FWCD) 胎儿的 ENS。
