Abstract

History of an aborted female fetus of 22 weeks gestation was examined. This was the second pregnancy having produced for the 22 years old mother, the first pregnancy having produced a normal healthy child after a full term. Prenatal ultrasound scanning revealed multiple anomalies, considered nonviable for the fetus and hence the pregnancy was terminated. The fetus was examined externally and CT and MRI scan was done. Diagnosis was made as otocephaly.
