Abstract

The authors describe the case of a male infant who was diagnosed prenatally as having iniencephaly. Since birth, the child has grown, thrived, and undergone two successful operations to correct his cervical deformity. This case demonstrates that the iniencephaly defect is not uniformly fatal and that neurosurgical intervention may offer significant improvement in the cervical deformity.

摘要

作者描述了一名男婴的病例，该男婴在产前被诊断为无脑畸形。自出生以来，该患儿生长发育良好，并成功接受了两次手术以矫正其颈椎畸形。该病例表明，无脑畸形缺陷并非一律致命，神经外科干预可能会显著改善颈椎畸形。
