Abstract :
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.
