toluene and Neural Tube Defects

toluene has been researched along with Neural Tube Defects in 2 studies

methylbenzene : Any alkylbenzene that is benzene substituted with one or more methyl groups.

Neural Tube Defects: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp31-41)
