Anencephaly – A Neural Tube Defect Anencephaly is a severe, lethal congenital anomaly where most of the brain and skull vault fail to develop. The cerebral hemispheres and overlying skull bones are absent, leaving only the brainstem and rudimentary neural tissue exposed. Key facts every nurse/midwife must know: - Occurs in ~1:1000 pregnancies in most populations (higher where folic acid fortification is low) - Diagnosed by antenatal ultrasound as early as 11–14 weeks (“frog-eye” sign, no calvari

Dr Anu jain on Instagram: "What is anencephaly? Anencephaly is a serious birth defect in which a baby is born without a major part of the brain, skull, and scalp. It happens very early in pregnancy—often before a woman even knows she is pregnant. Why does it happen? During the first month of pregnancy, the baby’s brain and spinal cord start forming from a structure called the neural tube. In anencephaly, the upper part of this tube does not close properly, so the brain does not develop normally.
