Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Iniencephaly is a rare neural tube defect (NTD) characterized by deformities in the occiput and inion, along with rachischisis in the cervical and thoracic spine, resulting in the head appearing in retroflexion.
OBSERVATIONS: This report details the case of a female newborn who underwent surgery for an encephalocele. She survived up to 6 months, exhibiting good overall health, although she displayed physical abnormalities, including facial deformity, a short neck, and minor spasms in all limbs. Both cardiovascular and abdominal assessments remained stable, and imaging revealed defects in the occipital bone, a large cephalocele, and spinal dysraphism.
LESSONS: Although iniencephaly is generally incompatible with life, a few cases have been reported otherwise. Our patient, one of these notable exceptions, remains alive at 6 months old, possibly due to the lack of major vascular deformities. However, she does exhibit significant psychomotor retardation.
