Abstract

Abstract Acephalous fetus in a singleton pregnancy is an extremely rare case. In twin pregnancy, it could be presumed as one type of twin reverse arterial perfusion sequence (TRAPS). In this particular case report, the situation was different. An acephalous fetus developed in a singleton pregnancy and may have been a complication of an amniotic band in the very early weeks of gestation. Nevertheless proving it is still a constraint. Despite that, motor findings in utero by using four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound were very interesting to study. Movement of the acephalous fetus is challenging thought on fetal behavior theory, as brain development and function play the central role. The Kurjak antenatal neurodevelopmental tests (KANET) was used to measure the fetal behavior of this acephalous fetus. A comparison with post natal movement findings was also done to provide a better understanding.
