Abstract
This case report aims to shed light on the critical importance of folic acid intake not only during pregnancy but also before conception. The focus is on preventing anencephaly, a devastating neural tube defect that can be avoided through proactive measures such as incorporating folic acid rich foods into ones diet and supplementation. Anencephaly is a congenital condition that cannot be cured, making prevention the key to sparing both infants and mothers from the emotional and physical burdens associated with this tragic disorder. The report emphasizes the need for increased awareness and education about the role of folic acid in prenatal health to empower individuals in taking a small yet impactful step towards a healthier future.
