| Summary: | A 21-week-old still born female fetus with occipital encepholocele, cleft lip and cleft palate was received from the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Pondicherry and was studied in detail. It was
born to Primigravida, of a second degree consanguineous marriage, with unremarkable family history. The biometric measurements were
noted which corresponded to the age of the fetus. Further the fetus was embalmed and dissected. On examination an encephalocele
of 2.7×1.5 cm was seen in the occipital region with a midline defect in the occipital bone and herniated brain tissue. Other anomalies
observed were right unilateral cleft lip, right cleft palate, and bilateral syndactyly of the lower limbs and associated Congenital Talipus
Equino Varus of the right foot. Other internal organs were developed appropriate for the age of the fetus. |
