Not necessarily. This is true that there is higher risk of such problem in subsequent pregnancy. 1Folic acid supplementation in perinatal period prevent to a great extent such open neural defects with or without hydrocephalus. 2 alpha fetoprotein estimation by aminocentesis in first trimester preferably at 8 weeks of gestation help in diagnosis of similar problem. Best wishes Regards

There is a possibility but not always. Go through serial ultrasound.
