[[Iniencephaly]] is a rare type of cephalic disorder characterised by three common characteristics: a defect to the occipital bone, spina bifida of the cervical vertebrae and retroflexion (backward bending) of the head on the cervical spine. Stillbirth is the most common outcome, with a few rare examples of live birth, after which death almost invariably occurs within a short time. The disorder was first described by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in [[1836]]. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἰνίον [[inion]], for the occipital bone/nape of the neck. iniencephaly.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:50by 127.0.0.1
