Background: The prenatal diagnosis of microhydranencephaly is important and needs to be distinguished from anencephaly, because unlike anencephaly, fetuses with microhydranencephaly can survive after birth. Herein, we report a case of microhydranencephaly that was diagnosed and distinguished from anencephaly prenatally.
Case Presentation: The patient was an 18-year-old woman, 2 gravida nullipara, who presented at 15 weeks of gestation.
When to deliver the monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with specific cord patterns? Although there is no clear evidence supporting an earlier delivery (before 36 weeks of gestation) in MCDA twins, an earlier delivery might prevent intrauterine death or neuromorbidity in MCDA twins with specific cord patterns.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study between 2011 and 2014 in member institutions of the Tohoku Translational Research Center Development Network.
Results: A total of 53 patients with ULMS were registered in 31 institutions for the present survey.
Several studies have shown that brain hypothermia therapy (BHT) after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) can improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, there have been no reports of the neurodevelopmental outcomes for the infant with a serum creatine kinase (CK) level above 20,000 IU/L in association with neonatal HIE. We report a female infant with a very high serum CK level (26,428 IU/L) associated with neonatal asphyxia.
