We also studied the 677C-- T mutation on the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene in the parents in one of the present cases. The mother was found to be heterozygous for the 677CT polymorphism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nor was the specific diagnosis made in the present case. Case Report Mrs. M. H., white, twenty-eight years old, patient of Drs. [doi.org]

• Fishing

  Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was carried out for targeted aneuploidy analysis. This is fourth published report of chromosomal abnormality in iniencephaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Pain

  The baby was born to a 22-year-old mother, who presented with abdominal pain of 1 day duration. An ultrasound scan at that time showed multiple foetal anomalies and the pregnancy was terminated. A stillborn baby was delivered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lordosis

  Retroflexion of the head with exaggerated cervicothoracic lordosis is always present, and CNS malformations in the form of anencephaly, spina bifida and encephalocele are often present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The spine is severely distorted as well along with significant shortening due to marked lordosis. The vertebrae, especially cervical, are fused together in abnormal shapes and their numbers are reduced. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Suggestibility

  The neuroradiological and surgical findings of the case suggested that the trigger of the anomaly was the occipital bone defect and rachischisis of the posterior vertebral arches. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  medications, teratogens, nutrient deficiency, etc.) suggest a shared causation. [indiana.pure.elsevier.com]

• Drop Attacks

  He presented with some cerebellar and cranial nerve symptoms and new episodes of neck pain and drop attacks. Brain imaging confirmed progressive deformity of the brain stem, cerebellar herniation into the encephalocele sac and ventriculomegaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment There is no standard treatment for iniencephaly since most infants rarely live longer than a few hours. Medicine is based more on prevention using supplementation with folic acid. [ninds.nih.gov]

The drug clomiphene, a drug commonly used for ovulation stimulation in fertility treatments, has also been seen to be associated with iniencephaly. [en.wikipedia.org]

This abnormality's prognosis is thought to be dismal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis for infants with iniencephaly is extremely poor. Newborns seldom survive much past childbirth. [ninds.nih.gov]

Prognosis for Infants with Holoprosencephaly Infants born with most forms of holoprosencephaly face a poor prognosis. Few who survive achieve significant mental development. [healthcommunities.com]

A brief review of the literature regarding categorization of these malformations and as a discussion of the embryological basis for these lesions and possible etiologic factors are included. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiological studies have found an association of iniencephaly and/or anencephaly with exomphalos in 5.2% cases with slight female preponderance. [jemds.com]

Iniencephaly is a rare neural tube defect resulting in the following features : occipital bone defect partial or total absence (rachischisis) of cervicothoracic vertebrae fixed fetal head retroflexion Epidemiology The estimated incidence is at ~0.1-10 [pacs.de]
