CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INIENCEPHALY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 34
Abstract
Iniencephaly is a rare birth defect having retroflexion of the head combined with severe distortion of the spine. Based on the presence or absence of encephalocele, Lewis [1, 9] has classified iniencephaly into two groups - iniencephaly apertus and iniencephaly clausus. Cardiovascular disorders, diaphragmatic hernias, and gastrointestinal malformations are other additional defects seen in these cases. Most of iniencephalic babies are stillborn or die soon after birth (2, 9); however the milder forms of iniencephaly cases are not fatal. Here we present a rare case of iniencephaly clausus with review of literature.
