Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incomplete closure of the spinal cord is a characteristic feature of spina bifida. Macrosomia refers to a baby that is larger than average for their gestational age, anencephaly refers to a severe birth defect where parts of the brain and skull are missing, and microcephaly refers to a smaller-than-average head size, all of which are not related to incomplete closure of the spinal cord.
