Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Folic acid deficiency during early stages of pregnancy increases the risk for neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are not associated with deficiencies of protein, iron, or vitamin D.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Dandy-Walker malformation is a congenital defect of the cerebellum characterized by a large posterior fossa cyst, which communicates with the fourth ventricle, and an atrophic upwardly rotated cerebellar vermis. Congenital hydrocephalus is characterized by enlargement of the cere-bral ventricles. Microcephaly is lack of brain growth with retarded mental and motor develop-ment. Macewen sign is characterized by separation of the cranial sutures with a resonant sound when the skull is tapped.
