Progression of exencephaly to anencephaly in the human fetus—an ultrasound perspective

1 Apr 1991

Abstract excerpt

Exencephaly as a precursor of anencephaly is well delineated in animal studies. In humans, a similar though unproven embryologic sequence is postulated. In the case reported, serial ultrasound studies allowed us to identify a 16-week human exencephalic fetus and observe the cephalic changes during its progression to a classic anencephalic appearance.
