title: Antenatal Sonography and MRI of Iniencephaly apertus and clausus.
abstract: Iniencephaly is a lethal and an extremely rare neural tube defect. It is characterized by fixed retroflection of the head, cervical dysraphism and occipital bone defect. Associated anomalies of the nervous and other systems are frequently present. Most cases are diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. We report prenatal ultrasonographic, fetal MRI and pathological findings of 2 cases of iniencephaly (one each of iniencephaly apertus and clausus).
