Background: Anencephaly is a common but lethal form of neural tube defect which occurs as a result of failure of closure of the rostral neuropore. There is no data on this lethal congenital anomaly in our community.

A Study on The Incidence of Neural Tube Defects in A Tertiary Care Hospital Over A Period of Five Years [PDF]
Introduction: Several congenital malformations affect developing fetuses, among which Neural tube defect (NTD) is most common. Folic acid supplementation brought decline in the incidence of NTDs.

Acrania-exencephaly-anencephaly sequence
Acrania–exencephaly–anencephaly sequence is rare forms of neural tube defects. The progression is from a relatively normal-appearing exposed brain due to an absent cranium called as acrania, to an amorphous brain mass term as exencephaly.

Craniospinal rachischisis with multiple anomalies in an anencephalic fetus: A rare case report
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are the most common malformations accounting for 0.5-1.3 cases/1000 live births with multifactorial etiology. Anencephaly and craniospinal rachischisis are open NTDs.

Rare association of cyclopia with craniospinal rachischisis
Cyclopia is a severe form of holoprosencephaly which results in children being born with just one eye, absence of nose and presence of a proboscis above the median eye. Incidence of cyclopia is around 1.05 in 1, 00,000 births, including stillbirths.

Rare and severe neural tube defect: Craniorachischisis totalis
Craniorachischisis totalis is an uncommon and severe form of neural tube defect. It is characterized by anencephaly and spina bifida throughout the vertebral column accompanied by herniation of neural tissue and meninges.

Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Damaging de novo Variants in Anencephalic Cases
BackgroundAnencephaly is a lethal neural tube defect (NTD). Although variants in several genes have been implicated in the development of anencephaly, a more complete picture of variants in the genome, especially de novo variants (DNVs), remains ...
