Pseudo-iniencephaly. A case report.
A case of congenital webbing with other congenital abnormalities is presented. Initial examination of the features of the case made a diagnosis of iniencephaly seem likely. However, further examination of the radiographs and the physical abnormalities demonstrated too few of the typical features, and the term pseudo-iniencephaly has been used to describe the case. The various aetiological possibilities are discussed, but it is clear that further research into webbing and its concomitant abnormalities would be necessary to provide the answers to the questions posed by this case.
