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]

There are only seven reported cases of relatively long-term survival of those born with iniencephaly.[1] Epidemiology[edit] Iniencephaly is thought to make up around 1% of all fetal abnormalities,[5] with an incidence rate estimated at 0.1 to 10 in 10,000 [en.wikipedia.org]
