摘要：Anencephaly which is basically a misnomer used in place of meroencephaly for a long time is one of the most common birth defect that is seen in stillborn fetuses. It has multifactorial relations with environment , genetics as well as nutrition.It can be diagnosed by ultrasound, serum alfafetoprotein (AFP) level. The present study was done of a female aborted fetus of 32 weeks having anencephaly whose specimen was present in our department. So we planned to present a case report of this very anomaly with its development and genetic causes that lead to this lethal but preventable congenital defect.
