Abstract

Exencephaly is a rare malformation of the cranium which is characterized by absence of skull, cranium cavity and a scalp with protruding brain tissue outside the skull. The prognosis for infants born with this malformation is extremely poor. Exencephaly has been associated with several other congenital anomalies. We present a case of exencephaly associated with cystic adenomatoid malformation in autopsy findings in a17weeks female abortus. Keywords: Exencephaly, acrania, cystic adenomatoid malformation.
