She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida). This condition likely resulted from a (folate / purine) deficiency in the patient’s diet.
