AI Article Synopsis

  • A child was born with a brain condition called hydranencephaly, which is when most of the brain is missing.
  • The problem was that the child's mother didn’t have regular check-ups during her pregnancy, so the condition wasn't found early.
  • It's really important for all pregnant women to get educated and have regular doctor visits to catch any issues early on, no matter where they live.

Article Abstract

We present a case of a child suffering of hydranencephaly. The interesting fact in the case is that there were no embryological examinations during pregnancy and therefore could the anomaly, which would have been easily avoided by regular visits to the obstetrician, not be diagnosed timely. Education of mothers is always necessary irrespective on how developed a country is and how good the medical treatment and diagnostic tools are. Every pregnant woman needs to be well educated in matters of pregnancy monitoring.
