Article Synopsis
- - Acrania is a serious fetal condition where the skull (calvaria) is partially or completely missing, often resulting from issues in cellular development during the early weeks of pregnancy.
- - Key ultrasound signs of acrania include the lack of skull and a distinct brain shape that resembles a "Mickey Mouse head." Diagnosis typically occurs after 11 weeks of gestation.
- - Early detection is crucial since the prognosis is very poor, leading to elective termination of pregnancy being the recommended course of action.
