title: Computed tomography in the study of the development of the skull base: 2. Anencephaly, the aberrant skull form.
abstract: The application of various radiographic modalities in the analysis of the paradigm aberrant skull of anencephalics is reported. Again, we found high resolution CT to be the most valuable modality. A detailed description of the skull base changes in anencephaly is presented, and the appropriate embryologic explanation is offered.
