Abstract
Iniencephaly is a rare malformation of the base of the skull and prognosis is almost invariably lethal. This entity belongs to the group of neural tube closure defects. To date, 2000 reports have been published in the literature. Diagnosis can now be made using ultrasound morphology examination, allowing pregnancy termination to be proposed. We report 3 cases of iniencephaly diagnosed between 1990 and 2000 and review the literature on this malformation.We describe the case of a patient in whom early ultrasonographic diagnosis of iniencephaly at 13 weeks of gestation allowed induced abortion at 14 weeks.
