Iniencephaly is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by spina bifida of the cervical vertebrae, fixed retroflexion of the head on the cervical spine, and occipital bone defect. There are only five reports of surviving patients with iniencephaly. The authors report the case of a newborn who presented with iniencephaly and an encephalocele that were surgically treated in our service. Neurological examination of the patient yielded normal results except for a moderate psychomotor retardation. The neuroradiological and surgical findings of the case suggested that the trigger of the anomaly was the occipital bone defect and rachischisis of the posterior vertebral arches.
无脑儿后凸是一种罕见的先天性异常，其特征为颈椎脊柱裂、头部在颈椎上固定性后屈以及枕骨缺损。仅有五例无脑儿后凸存活患者的报告。作者报告了一例新生儿，该患儿患有无脑儿后凸和脑膨出，并在我院接受了手术治疗。除中度精神运动发育迟缓外，该患者的神经学检查结果正常。该病例的神经放射学和手术结果表明，异常的触发因素是枕骨缺损和后椎弓脊柱裂。
