Iniencephaly is a rare kind of neural tube defect that is classified into two types of iniencephaly apertus and iniencephaly clausus. This anomaly could be diagnosed prenatally by obstetric ultrasonography and terminated by therapeutic abortion; however, it could be undiagnosed until birth similar to our case due to the abnormal position of the fetus or lack of experience of the sonographer. Due to abnormality of the neural tube, which causes abnormal head and neck position, all these cases will die shortly after birth. We hereby introduce the photos and imaging findings of a case of an alive neonate with iniencephaly clausus.
无脑儿是一种罕见的神经管缺陷,分为开放性无脑儿和闭合性无脑儿两种类型。这种异常可通过产科超声在产前诊断,并通过治疗性流产终止妊娠;然而,由于胎儿位置异常或超声检查人员经验不足,类似我们的病例可能直到出生才被诊断出来。由于神经管异常导致头颈部位置异常,所有这些病例在出生后不久就会死亡。我们在此介绍一例存活的闭合性无脑儿新生儿的照片和影像学检查结果。
