Hydranencephaly: A Case Report

Abstract

Hydranencephaly is a congenital neurodevelopmental anomaly in which there is an absence of the cerebral hemispheres and intact infratentorial structures. Diagnosis can be made prenatally or postnatally using ultrasound, CT, or MRI. Imaging findings include the presence of primitive brain structures, variable presence of the falx cerebri, and total or near-total absence of the cerebral hemispheres. We reported a case of newborn hydranencephaly in 1 day old neonate with macrocephaly.
