Anencephaly with placental attachment

Abstract

Anencephaly is a severe defect of development of the neuraxis that is incompatible with survival. This particular neural tube defect is characterised by the absence of large portions of the cranium. The peculiar feature in this baby is the abnormal attachment of the placenta to the site of the skull defect.
