Anencephaly: MRI findings and pathogenetic theories

Ferdinando Calzolari et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

We describe the MRI appearances of an anencephalic newborn who survived for 13 h; particularities of this case are male gender and the absence of other associated malformations. Moreover, we discuss the pathogenetic theories of anencephaly, correlating MRI findings with embryological data. An exencephaly-anencephaly sequence due to amnion rupture is hypothesized.
