A newborn infant who suffered intra-uterine anoxia is described, whose mother inhaled butane gas accidentally during the sixth month of pregnancy. The infant was born at 39 weeks. Ultrasonography and neuroradiological studies (CT scan and angiography) showed an almost complete absence of both cerebral hemispheres. The thalamus, brainstem and cerebellum were preserved. These findings were compatible with hydranencephaly. The authors believe that the malformation was due to intra-uterine anoxia occurring during fetal brain-development.
本文描述了一名患有宫内缺氧的新生儿，其母亲在怀孕第六个月时意外吸入了丁烷气体。该婴儿在39周时出生。超声检查和神经放射学研究（CT扫描和血管造影）显示双侧大脑半球几乎完全缺失。丘脑、脑干和小脑得以保留。这些发现与积水性无脑畸形相符。作者认为这种畸形是由于胎儿大脑发育期间发生的宫内缺氧所致。
