Abstract

The application of various radiographic modalities in the analysis of the paradigm aberrant skull of anencephalics is reported. Again, we found high resolution CT to be the most valuable modality. A detailed description of the skull base changes in anencephaly is presented, and the appropriate embryologic explanation is offered.
