Acrania is a rare congenital disorder that occurs in the human fetus in which the flat bones in the cranial vault are either completely or partially absent. [1] The cerebral hemispheres develop completely but abnormally. [1] The condition is frequently, though not always, associated with anencephaly. The fetus is said to have acrania if it ...

2025年1月6日 · Acrania, also known as fetal acrania, refers to the partial or complete absence of the cranial vault (i.e., the top portion of the skull) due to an abnormality during embryonic development. As a result, the cerebral hemispheres of the brain are partially or fully formed; however, there is a lack of a fetal skull that normally protects the brain ...

At 12 weeks acrania is suspected by absence of the normally ossified skull and distortion of the brain (exencephaly). At >16 weeks the brain is destroyed (anencephaly). Chromosomal defects in isolated acrania are rare. CNS or other defects are found in about 50% of cases, including spina bifida in 25%. Detailed ultrasound examination.

Acrania, a neural tube defect, is a condition characterized by the partial or complete absence of the fetal skull. The face and base of the skull are present, but due to the malformation of the skull, the brain is exposed. Acrania is considered the early gestation precursor to anencephaly.

Acrania is a uniformly lethal entity that is characterized by a partial or complete absence of the calvarium with complete, but abnormal development of brain tissue. The fetal cranium is not fully calcified before 10–11 weeks; therefore, a first-trimester diagnosis must …

Acrania is a fetal malformation characterized by complete or partial absence of the calvaria above the orbits and supraciliary ridge. No exact mechanism is demonstrated for this anomaly but disturbances in mesenchymal migration during the fourth ...

2024年8月20日 · Acrania is a rare lethal congenital anomaly characterized by an absence of the calvaria. The estimated incidence is at ~1:1000 pregnancies 4. The condition is thought to result from abnormal migration of mesenchymal tissue, which normally covers the …

2023年3月8日 · What is Acrania? Acrania is the absence of the fetal skull, which results in brain tissue being exposed to the amniotic fluid. It is thought that acrania is the precursor to anencephaly in what is called the acrania-exencephaly-anencaphaly sequence. Acrania can be seen on ultrasound in the first trimester. Unfortunately, these are lethal ...

Partial or complete absence of the flat bones of the cranial vault. The condition is frequently, though not always, associated with anencephaly. [from HPO]

Acrania is a rare fetal condition characterized by a partial or complete absence of the calvarium (skull bone) with complete brain development (Amin et al., 2009). Due to the absence of part of the body, acrania deformity can be classified as a severe handicap or disability.
